Family BBQ and Market

Our Spring Family BBQ and Market is approaching soon. If you would like to participate in the market, we welcome you to go online and order a table for $25. You can either do a garage sale, sell off your delicious baking or jams, or your beautiful crafts etc. 

The market and BBQ will be at the school playground and field on Saturday, May 4th from 11-2. Go to ples.hotlunches.net to order your table.  Kids can use blankets to present their items for sale. We will have a BBQ concession, so bring your picnic blanket or chairs to have a family picnic lunch.

At the same event we will auction off a reserved parking spot, for the whole school year 2019/20.  

Outdoor Learning Project

If you weren’t able to join us at last weeks meeting but are still interested in participating in our outdoor learning project, or have left over wood that you would like to donate to the school, you can email the pac at <span class="s2">prospectlakepac@gmail.com</span>. Rebecca has a list of four projects in which we will need volunteers. You can click here to see what the projects will be like.

Spring Flowers/Mothers Day Hanging Baskets

Want to get the garden ready for the summer, or surprise your wife, mother (in law) with a nice hanging basket? You can now order your spring flowers online. Go to https://prospectlakeelementary.growingsmilesfundraising.com/home to order your herbs, veggie plants or flowers. The order deadline is April 28. Flowers will be ready for pick up on Wednesday, May 8th

Hot Lunch 

The order deadline for our next hot lunch is April 10th.  Don’t miss out on Adriana’s Mexican food and sushi! We encourage everyone to log on to PLES.hotlunches.net before this date to double check that their order is in fact complete.  We’ve had a few cases of students coming to school expecting lunch only to find that no order was placed.

Staff Appreciation Day

A heads-up that on Wednesday, May 1 our Prospect Lake school families will host a “Family Favourites” potluck lunch to thank the almost 40 Prospect Lake Staff for all the support and care they give to our children. Volunteers will prepare food, set up and serve lunch to the staff.  We will also provide bouquets of flowers for each classroom. We hope that children can bring in some flowers or greenery (from your yard is fine) to the school in the morning. We will need volunteers to prepare food at home and it bring to school. Look for an opportunity soon to sign-up to help at the event and to cook. Thanks PLES families!  

Interested in helping the PAC?

Our May PAC executive election is just around the corner. We invite all parents and care takers to think about some of the opportunities to help next year. Click here to see if there’s a role you think you’d like to fill. If you would like to put your name forward for a nomination, please send us an email to <span class="s2">prospectlakepac@gmail.com</span>.

We’re especially looking for someone who would like to organize the hot lunch program for next year - it’s helpful to learn the job the year before for a smooth transition.  If you’re interested in learning about the position please contact Nina at <span class="s2">nina@mrbitter.org</span>
