WARNING TO DRIVERS
As of today, Friday October 1, 2021, the Saanich Police Department have begun ticketing vehicles parked along Prospect Lake Road. As it is difficult to find parking at both drop off and pick up, we would like to remind our PLES families that there is additional parking available a short walk away at both Whitehead Park (down Prospect Lake Rd) and the Prospect Lake Community Hall (up Sparton).

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
We need your help! The PAC is looking for volunteers for the following:
Class
Representatives
Each classroom (division) requires a parent volunteer. The volunteer helps assist the teacher as needed. They are also responsible for helping organize and facilitate a Christmas and Year End thank you gift from the class. Divisions 1, 5 and 10 already have a representative, we are looking for volunteers for Divisions 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, and 13.
Grade 5 Class Representative
The Grade 5 Class Representative is a parent, or parents, with a child in the current graduating class. They are responsible for organizing grad clothing, a grad event, liaising with the school on fundraising and managing the selling of the Country Grocer gift cards, and the yearbook. This year we have Michelle overseeing the yearbook, yet we are still in need of a parent or parents to coordinate the rest of activities.
Christmas Art Cards
This is an amazing fundraiser for the PAC. Each year the staff and students work very hard to create one-of-a-kind pieces of art. The pieces of artwork are then photographed into 5 x 7 images, printed, and adhered to white card stock. The product, a collection of your individual child’s art, or a mixed packaged of various student’s winter art. They make great seasonal cards and presents!
We are looking for parents to assist
with collecting the student’s artwork, photographing the individual art pieces,
having the photos printed and sorted, assembling the cards (gluing photos to
card stock), and distributing the final collections to the classrooms.
