- Book Fair: Our Librarian Melissa Bourdon is in need of help for the upcoming book fair. She is looking for volunteers to help out from Nov. 26-Nov. 30 in the library. The book fair will run after school on Thurs Nov 26 and Fri Nov 27 and before school on Nov 27 and Nov 30. If you are available to help out with set up/clean up, collecting payment and/or helping find items and organization, please email Melissa at mbourdon@sd63.bc.ca or sign up on the sign up sheet posted in the library. Thank you for your support with this important fundraiser for our school!
- Sports Equipment Room Volunteers: We still need 2 volunteers to sort, organize and do minor repairs (blowing up soccer balls etc.) on our sports equipment. Your help would only be needed 2 to 4 times a year. This would help our school determine what equipment should be purchased for this year. If you can help out with this please contact the PAC at prospectlakepac@sd63.bc.ca
- COPACS is still in need of a secretary to join their executive. The secretary will be in charge of maintaining records by taking minutes at meetings and holds official files & documentation. If you're interested, please email copacssd63@gmail.com.
