PAC Meeting

Thank you to those who attended our first PAC meeting of the school year!  We had a successful in-person and virtual meeting. Our meeting minutes can be found HERE and the treasurer's report HERE.  Our next meeting is Tuesday October 26th.  At this meeting we will discuss budgeting for the year as well as the teacher's wish list.  We hope you will be able to join us in person or via Microsoft Teams.


Bottle Drive Success

Thank you to Desiree Davies for organizing and running the first bottle drive of the school year.  Thank you to those of you who were able to support the school by bringing your bottles in, and to Shelly McIntyre, Wendy Bird, Jacquie Davis, Terri Archer and Carolyn Ensing for helping sort the donations.  Our next bottle drive will be held on January 9th 2022.  


Special Thanks

We would like to send out a very special thank you to Jordan and Brittney Crump of Crump Media and well as Jason Glendenning and Lindsay Davis from LMW LabelmakersWest.  These amazing parents took Mrs. Russell’s idea, created a design, and printed one of a kind Prospect Lake Panther Stickers.  In total, over 4,000 high quality stickers in 11 different designs were created and donated to the school.  These stickers will be given out by the PAWS Squad during the year to students and staff to help mark and celebrate important dates.
