Scrap Metal Drive
This weekend there will be a scrap metal drive at the school, on Saturday and Sunday November 17-18 from 10am-2pm. We will collect all metal, small and large: aluminum, brass, bicycle frames, door fittings, copper pipes, stainless steel, appliances, tools, extension cords, fencing, pots and pans, motors, lawnmowers, keys, aluminum window frames, motors, cars etc. Sorry no refrigerators or freezers.
Simply come to the school during those times and our volunteers will help you sort and unload your metal. For large items or big loads we will even arrange to pick it up if you won’t be able to bring it to the school. Please contact Dayton Hornsby at prosiding@hotmail.com to arrange for pick-up. Spread the word to friends and neighbours as well!
If you would like to volunteer to assist with unloading or collecting metal please email prospectlakepac@gmail.com
Last chance to order your Holiday gifts
You have just one day left to order some of the great gift ideas that we have put together for the holidays. Not only will this be easy online shopping for you, we will make some money along the way too, that will help us pay for the items on the staff wish list (for instance: two artists in residence, fieldtrips, science venture, home reading books, classroom funds). We hope that you will find something you like and help support our school. We couldn’t do it without you!
Your Child’s Art Cards
All our classes are busy working on art projects for our winter Art Cards. PAC volunteers will take a photo of your child’s art and make it into 5 x 7 inch cards. These high quality cards will be sold as packages of six and will include envelopes. They are a very special part of the holiday season for many school families. Prices are as follows:
6 pack of cards for $13.00 (all with same image of your child’s art work).
6 pack of mixed cards for $13.00 (a selection of art from different classes).
Order online at https://ples.hotlunches.net/ or pick up a paper order form at Mrs. Blackwell´s desk. Orders and payment need to be in by Friday, November 16.

We’ll be in touch to set it up.
Poinsettias and wreaths

raise money for our school programs. By purchasing a beautiful poinsettia or
wreath, not only will you be spreading holiday cheer, you will also be
