  Keele St. P.S. keeps a fruit bowl in the front office for  students to help themselves to in case they forget their lunch or need an extra snack.

We need someone or a small group of parents to run pizza days on the actual days we hand out pizza in the 2024-2025 school year.  We have someone that will advertise pizza days, collect pizza day money, and create class lists---but we need 1+ parent leaders to lead the charge on the actual pizza days! We can also do one pizza day per month instead of two---it's up to our new pizza day coordinator(s)!  If you are interested in taking on this role or have questions, email us at  keeleadvisorycouncil@gmail. com .  Thank you a million times over to Christina Gyore for seamlessly coordinating all of our 18 pizza days this year!
