FUNDRAISERS
1. Hot Lunch
Stay tuned, the hot lunch order dates for the new year will be out soon!
2. PLES Clothing Orders
We are still awaiting news from the company. When we receive an update, we will send it along. We appreciate everyone's patience.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
At this
time of year we try to do a whole-school craft for the kids to take home and
enjoy over the holiday break. Fortunately, we can make a Winter Centerpiece
again this year thanks to some fabulous parents. What we need from you are some
volunteers to come help clip and cut greenery and flowers for the children to
create these wonderful centerpieces.
We need people on Monday December 13th, from 9:30am-2:30pm. It doesn't
have to be the entire time, just whatever you can spare!
Any and all volunteering is greatly appreciated so if you have the time, please
email the PAC to let us know and we will get in touch with more details.
Please note, the volunteering will be outside so please dress warmly and bring
clippers and gloves.
JANUARY PARENTING WORKSHOP
There is still space available for January's Parenting Workshop with Dr. Allison Rees.
Topic: Sidestepping the Power Struggle
Taking the guesswork out of many parenting concerns. In this workshop we focus on practical solutions to questions like "Do consequences work, if so when and how?", "How do we get kids to take responsibility?", "How do we get out of the negative relationship patterns like nagging and power struggles?" Great information for parents with children of any age.
Date & Time: Monday January 17, 2022, 7:00-9:00pm
Location: Virtual! Microsoft Teams
