Hot Lunch

Our Mosi hot lunch was a huge success.  Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped deliver lunches.   We are still looking for volunteers for the next lunch date if you would like to sign up online.  

 

The order deadline for our next hot lunch is Feb 16 (yay, Noodle Box and Sushi!).  Order online at https://ples.hotlunches.net . 


We’ve added a donation option at the bottom of the order forms to help our school families in need cover their meal costs.  You can still go back and edit your order, even if you’ve already paid.  

 

World Cup Soccer

Would you like to help us to win $1,000 for our school? World Cups Youth Soccer Festival is holding a contest and will award the school with the most registered players $1,000.00 (awarded to the PAC to spend how they see fit). This is a fun two day soccer event taking place on March 30 and 31. Kids represent different world cup nations in small sided games. For more information about the festival take a look at www.worldcups.ca. Registration closes March 26th.

Purdy's Easter chocolates

Get ready for Easter, it’s Purdy’s time again! This is a great fundraiser for our school. You’ll pay the same price for your online order of Easter chocolates as you would in the store. But this time Purdy’s will give 25 per cent of all the proceeds back to the school. All funds raised go directly to our children. You can invite family members, friends and co-workers to place their orders through us too! Look in your child's backpack for the folder and the online instructions. Questions? Call Holly at 250-479-0190 or email hraas@hotmail.com.

Community notice

School District No. 63 (Saanich) is undertaking the second phase of a consultation process looking at the future of the “White Road” property located at the intersection of White Road and Veyaness Road in Central Saanich (Lot A, Plan VIP17298 ‐ White Road, Central Saanich, BC). The property is a 1.73 acre lot located at the intersection of White Road and VeyanessRoad and was donated to the predecessor of SD63 in 1873 by Mr. William Turgoose to “hold and use for public school purposes in the district” It was once the location of a school but has been long vacant. The overall question to the community: What should the School Board do with the White Road property so that the educational needs of our students and community are best served and the wishes of the donor are respected?

The community is invited to participate in this process by attending a public consultation meeting at Bayside Middle School on Wednesday, February 21, 2018 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. For more information on this consultation, including the results to date and the revised consultation timeline, please visit:
