Brigadoon Boomerang Lunch – At Brigadoon we have adopted a Boomerang Lunch policy along with many other schools in WRDSB.  We hope to reduce waste and encourage students and their families to review and rethink the way they prepare and pack lunch and snack foods.  All pre-packaged waste from your child’s lunch will be returned home in their lunch bag.  Any compostable items such as fruit peelings and uneaten crusts from sandwiches will be composted at school as part of our composting program.  An effective way to manage any mess coming home is to keep a re-usable sealed container or bag in their lunch bag to put the leftover items into.  Thanks so much for your support!
