Food Delivery Information from Valli
Families have been asking about the the 16 oz plastic (polypropylene) deli containers with lids that the kitchen uses for the main menu occasionally. These 16 oz deli containers are microwavable, freezer safe, dishwasher safe, and reusable.
Also, this is a reminder that you do not need to apply for the food delivery service. This program is for any child, ages 1-18. The bus schedule for delivery is attached, and the bus always stops at the school at 2:00 pm for families to pick up lunches. The bus then leaves at 2:30. We encourage you to use the program, regardless of financial need. It makes life a lot easier for parents, as making lunch is one less thing you have to do during these busy days of distance learning!

Our next PSO virtual meeting is January 21, at 6:30 pm. The link will go out as we get closer to this meeting. At this meeting we will be discussing goals for next year, looking over our current budget and looking at our current need for volunteers for the 2021-22 school year. It's important to know that all positions are volunteer. The PSO board member positions are voted in by you, parents, guardians, grandparents and anyone who attends our meetings. Your votes matter. Currently all board positions are OPEN for the 2021-22 school year. These must be filled in order for us to continue to have a PSO board at Mary Woodward. Please reach out to any of your current board members with questions. Board positions will be voted in at our March meeting!
If you would like to provide input, please plan on attending. We begin at 6:30. If you can’t attend, you can also send me an email at mwpsopresident@gmail.com with your thoughts/questions.
