Meal Programs
Strathcona Community Centre Breakfast Program
Strathcona Community Centre welcomes all Strathcona elementary school students to enjoy a balanced breakfast of fresh and nutritious food each weekday morning before programs/school. No pre-registration necessary, just go to the back door of the community centre (near the gymnasium). The Breakfast Program is closed on weekends, stat holidays, and Pro-D days.
SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM
Strathcona Elementary is able to provide parents with the option of a hot lunch program. The Vancouver School Board believes that sound nutritional practices help children be successful at school. A subsidy is available to help families who are unable to pay for the full monthly cost of the lunch program.
A hot lunch is served most days. All menus are served following the Ministry of Education nutritional guidelines for healthy eating at schools. The school lunch program does not provide special diets. The only food available is on the daily menu. Please report any specific food allergies to the school office. Parents should review menu choices specific to their child's dietary restrictions and ensure their child is aware of any food items he/she should not be eating.
Students who participate in the program must hand in the Permission Form signed by a parent on a monthly basis. Permission forms are available at the school office.
