Staff Appreciation Lunch
Calling all food loving parents and guardians. On Friday April 27 your PAC will host an ´Around the world´ staff appreciation potluck-lunch to thank the Prospect Lake Staff for all the great work they have done this year. You can be part of this too, by preparing your favorite “international” dish.
You can sign up with Perfect Potluck here: https://www.PerfectPotluck.com/UZDJ9624 
Please include a note with your dish that includes your name, the name and origin of the dish, the main ingredients or allergens and any instructions about warming or serving. Please aim to make a dish that will feed appr. 8 people. 
It would be great if all children can bring a flower (from your yard is fine) to the school in the morning, so we can arrange some bouquets for the teachers and staff. 
Please drop your contributions off at the entrance/kitchen/gym in the morning, but no later than 11.00 am. Thank you for supporting the staff at Prospect Lake. 
Last chance to order Spring Flowers
You can still order your Spring Hanging Baskets and Planters for Mother’s Day. The baskets are very good quality, you pay less then you would at the Wildwood Cannor Nursery itself, and the PAC still makes a good profit that will benefit all kids in the school.
You can order online athttps://ples.hotlunches.net/or if you prefer to submit a paper order, please put the pink form with the money orcheque(payable to PLES PAC) in a sealed envelope or ziplock bag in the pink PAC box in your child’s classroom.
