You’re the Chef: We Need Volunteers Please
We are excited to offer our grade ⅞ students an opportunity to participate in the program “You’re the Chef”. This is a program developed and supported by our Public Health Unit. The goal of the program is to help students develop the skills and confidence necessary to prepare and enjoy healthy recipes, emphasizing vegetables and fruit.
The program will run on the following Wednesdays after school in our own PMPS staffroom kitchen: April 19th, April 26th and May 3rd, May 10th, May 17th, and May 24th from 3-430pm. We have two amazing volunteers who will be running the program, Betty Harmany and Chris Cox. Classroom teachers will have permission forms to offer any interested students. Both permission forms need to be returned to Mrs. Papavasliou in the office by the morning of April 5th. If we do not have enough interested grade ⅞ teachers, we will offer the program to our grade 6 students as well. We can take 12 students for the program, but are hopeful to run it again before the end of the school year.
We also need 2-3 additional volunteers to help with the program as well. Volunteers must have a completed vulnerable sector check through the OPP and complete our volunteer agreement. We can write a letter that you can provide to the OPP so the cost of the VSC is free. Currently the time to complete a VSC is 1-2 weeks and it must be completed before the start of the program on the 19th. Please reach out to Mrs. Papavasiliou to confirm your interest in helping with the program (519-941-3731 ext 223). Thank you in advance.
