Save your bottles! 

We are hosting a bottle drive at the school this Sunday, November 17th from 10:00-2:00.  We need your help!  Because of the ongoing strike some of our regular fundraisers are not going to be possible.  We are asking families to come together and help us raise some funds!  Spread the word to friends and family!  Kids bored at home?  Have them collect bottles from friends and family!  Please share the attached poster which you can find HERE.

Family Movie Day

Kids need something to do?  
This Monday PLES PAC will be hosting a movie matinee at Sidney’s Star Cinema. We’re hoping this will give the kids (and parents) a chance to reconnect and have some fun if this strike is still going on.

What movie?   Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
When?    Monday, Nov 18 at 1:00
Where?   Sidney’s Star Cinema
How much?   Suggested donation of $5 per person

RSVP to: Nina at nina@mrbitter.org - please include the total number of seats your group will need, including adults.  

The theatre only holds 145 people so seats so will go to those who get in touch first.  The concession will be open but please arrive early as it will be busy.

It would be great if those parents who are able to supervise and drive can try to help out those who may not be available.  

Holiday Poinsettias and Wreaths

We will be selling beautiful locally grown Poinsettias, amazing wreaths, outdoor planters and indoor mixed planters and succulent bowls.  By purchasing a poinsettia or wreath, not only will you be spreading holiday cheer, you will also be supporting the many activities our PAC supports at Prospect Lake!  

Order online at : https://prospectlakeelementary.growingsmilesfundraising.com/home 

Orders and payments need to be in by November 23rd.  Orders will be available for pick up from the school December 3 and December 4.  Please share with friends and family!

If you have any questions please contact Jacquie Davis at jmdavis@gmail.com

Purdy's Chocolates 

It's Purdy's time again!  This is a great fundraiser for our school.  When you order your chocolates online, you'll pay the same as you would in the store, but Purdy's donates 25% of all of the proceeds to our school.  All funds raised go directly to our children.   You can invite family and friends to place their orders through us too!
