Lunch with Loved Ones | 11:00 AM–1:00 PM

Dear Southwood Families,

We are excited to celebrate Grandparents Day with a special event we are calling “Do Something Grand!” on Monday, September 14th! We invite grandparents and other special loved ones to join us at Southwood Elementary for Lunch with Loved Ones.

Loved ones are invited to have lunch with their child during the designated lunch time listed below. We look forward to filling our school with special memories, smiles, and time together!

🍎 Lunch with Loved Ones

Loved ones may purchase lunch in the cafeteria (cash only) or bring a lunch from home to enjoy with their child.

We will have tables available in Kari’s Korner, the Courtyard, and the Music Room for families to enjoy their lunch together.

We kindly ask that everyone stick to the designated lunch time listed below. We understand that some families may have more than one child at Southwood. If you are visiting multiple children, please use the latest lunch time when signing your children out.

🛡️ Important Safety Information

For the safety of our students, all Kindergarten through 2nd Grade students must be signed out with their teacher if they are leaving school with a loved one for the day. These students will not be released to walk alone to meet a loved one.

After lunch, loved ones are welcome to visit our Book Fair together!

If your child will be returning to class, please return them to their classroom and sign them back in with their teacher.

If your child will be going home with the loved one for the remainder of the day, the loved one may complete the checkout process in the front office.

📚 Don't Forget the Book Fair!

While you're here, be sure to stop by our Book Fair and find a new favorite book!

As an extra treat, every loved one who makes a Book Fair purchase on Monday, September 14th will have their name entered into a drawing for a $50 Outback gift card!

📝 Permission Form

Parents, please complete the permission form below so your child's teacher knows who to expect for Lunch with Loved Ones. We also ask that you indicate whether each individual has permission to sign your child out of school that day.

Thank you for helping us make this a safe, special, and memorable celebration for our students and their loved ones.

We are looking forward to another successful “Lunch with Loved Ones” and can't wait to see all of our Southwood families Do Something Grand!

With appreciation,

Mrs. Wendy Piro
