Our next PAC Meeting is scheduled for:
Wednesday, February 18th
7:00 pm in school staffroom
Everyone welcome to attend!
Babysitting can be arranged by phoning the school and letting Janet know.
As you most likely know by now the PAC is putting together gift baskets to raffle off at various events with all proceeds to go to the Knight family. You have all been amazingly generous. Thank you so much. We will be putting some baskets together this Friday. If you are interested in helping out, let us know and we'll let you know what time. We are hoping to raffle some of these off at the Demons game this weekend. Thanks again for pulling together to help out this family.
In terms of fundraising, the Christmas catalogues were all collected and the orders should be arriving in the next couple of weeks. The stikees went well and I hope everyone has their Christmas ones up! The Craft Fair went really well and thank you so much to those of you who donated baking. Smencils are still going well but we still have Christmas sets to sell. Please spread the word if you know of anyone who might want any and I could get them to them. They will be for sale again this Friday afterschool.
Traffic safety is still an ongoing issue and we are looking at having the RCMP come and teach the children about road safety. Also, we have a few parents who have stepped forward willing to donate their time as volunteer crossing guards. That is great! Thank you...However, we need at least 6 parents to step forward before the RCMP will offer a training session. If you are able to donate anytime, please let me know ASAP. Please remember to use the Harvest Church for pick ups and please use the CONTROLLED DESIGNATED parking lot for drop offs. Please also avoid stopping near the crosswalks as this can block the view of a child walking across the road. The roads are getting slippery and we cannot stop as quickly. Please be careful and take your time...Let's keep our children safe.
Don't forget Friday is anti-bullying day! Try and send your child in something pink. It can be a shirt, socks, scarf, toque, etc.
Santa's Workshop will be taking place on December 8th and 9th. For those of you who are new to this program, it is an opportunity for child to come and shop for family or friends without mom and dad around. We set up a Santa's Workshop in the computer room and they come shopping. They really enjoy it. Feel free to stop in at anytime if you would like to check it out. We could always use more volunteers in the room as well. As you can imagine it can get pretty chaotic!
Thanks!
