6th Grade Families: Volunteers Needed for Lunchtime Composting! 🌱

We're looking for parent and family volunteers to assist during lunch periods, helping students sort their food waste into the correct compost bins. It's a fun, low-key way to get involved at school, and teach kids a great environmental habit — all while helping us cut down on cafeteria waste. Please log-in and sign up to help if you are available during the day. Below is a brief summary of the program: click through to see the full document.

Sign up here: 6th Grade Composting!

Choose the date and time that works for you. Signing up takes less than a minute. Thank you for helping our students build good habits!

Share Food Share Love Pantry

Thank You to our first SFSL Volunteers! 🙏

A huge thank you to all the Hauser families who came out to volunteer at the food pantry. Your time and generosity helped make a real difference for families in our community — we couldn't do this without you!

Hauser's next volunteer shift is October 10th!

Fundraising

Dine Out & Support Our School: LaBarra Fundraiser!

Hungry for a good cause? Join us for a fundraiser night at LaBarra! Simply show the attached flier when you order — dine in, carry out, or order for pickup — and a portion of the proceeds will go directly to support our school.

The best part: you don't have to be a Hauser family to participate! Invite friends, neighbors, extended family, and coworkers — anyone who orders from LaBarra and shows the flier helps us reach our fundraising goal.
