Dear Collingwood School Families,

We are very excited to announce that our next Fun Lunch for students in Grades 1-6 will be Thursday, November 20, 2025! This Fun Lunch will be Mucho Burrito + Booster Juice! 

Order Deadline

The deadline to order a Fun Lunch or change/cancel an order is always the Saturday prior to the Fun Lunch date.  For this month, the order deadline is Saturday, November 15, 2025, at midnight.  After this time, there is unfortunately no way to add/change an order.

Volunteer Sign-Up

In order for Fun Lunches to be a success, we rely on volunteers to help organize and distribute the meals. Please note that you can now sign-up to volunteer for Fun Lunches from November to January.  We will open up volunteer opportunities for February - May in the New Year. If you have a valid police clearance check, please consider signing up to help using this link:

  • Fun Lunch Volunteer Sign-Up, 2025-26

In the event that your sign-up needs to be cancelled, please provide as much notice as possible as we require a minimum number of volunteers to distribute lunches promptly and will need to replace your position with a new volunteer.

Student Absence on Fun Lunch Days

If your child is absent from school, on Fun Lunch day, and you are planning to come pick up their Fun Lunch, please send an email to collingwood@cbe.ab.ca with instructions on pickup of the lunch.  Note the following restrictions:

  • The instructions must be received prior to 10:30 a.m. on the day of the Fun Lunch. Fun Lunches are organized and distributed between 10:30 a.m. and 12:15 p.m.
  • Any unclaimed lunch orders (due to student absence), without directions received by 10:30 a.m., will be donated by the Parent Association to the staff room.
  • Pickup time for Fun Lunches for absent students will be 11:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m., at the school.  This will allow our parent volunteers time to find and set aside the correct order.
