The Mosaic Meal (Potluck) will again be held on the last day before the break, Monday, December 22. Each student is asked to bring enough food for 5 - 6 people according to the grade’s category (see below). The food is to be brought on Monday, Dec. 22, between 11:30 AM and 11:55 AM.

The categories are: Grade 7, Chinese food; Grade 8, Mexican food; Grade 9, Italian food; Grade 10, Ukrainian food; Grade 11, appetizers; Grade 12, desserts. Please remember that our school is “nut free.” Food Bank donations have also started to come in. The class which brings in the most food items, eats first at the Mosaic Meal. The students have already brought in over 2200 items for the Foodbank.
