CLICK FOR THIS MONTH'S SIGNUP - Friday, Sept. 5th, 2025 (Italian Theme) |
First Friday STAFF Lunches
This long-standing West Sylvan tradition on the First Friday of every month is one way we get to show our hard-working teachers and staff how much we appreciate them – and they love it! The monthly themed potluck meal is brought in by WS community members, and allows staff to enjoy a delicious lunch, spend time with co-workers, and get a break from packing their own food. But don't just take our word for it - Hear it from the staff themselves!
It’s the best day of the month!
So grateful for every morsel! Thank you for such amazing offerings!
Anything brought is amazing and so appreciated!
HOW CAN YOU HELP? There are three ways!
1. Review the Sign Up Sheet that is linked above and emailed toward the end of each month to see what food or drinks you can bring in. Items can be homemade or store-bought. Some things might be appetizers or casseroles, and others are prepackaged chips, crackers, cookies or seltzers.
2. Volunteer to help set-up and serve lunch. It's not a very big commitment, and it's fun! Email for more information wsfirstfridaylunch@gmail.com
3. Donate funds to help directly support the purchase of food or supplies like paper goods or utensils.

Interested in joining the First Friday Lunch Committee?
Are you looking for and easy way to get involved at West Sylvan? Being a part of the First Friday lunch committee is a great way to spend some time in the school while showing our amazing teachers and staff how much they are appreciated.
Every month our committee picks a theme and organizes a sign-up for parents to bring in food and drinks. We need a few parents each month to be on-site to setup, restock, and cleanup the lunch over the course of the two lunch periods. It is fun, easy, and a great way to get to meet some of the teachers and staff at WSMS.
If you are not able to help on the committee, please keep your eyes peeled for our monthly signups to contribute to the meals. It is truly a treasured tradition here at West Sylvan, and it wouldn’t be possible without support from ALL OF YOU.
If you are interested in this low-commitment opportunity, please email wsfirstfridaylunch@gmail.com
