HALLOWEEN HOWL SCHOOL DANCE ** VOLUNTEERS NEEDED **

The Halloween Howl dance is back!  Thank you to everyone that has signed up to volunteer so far.  We are still in need of a volunteer or two to coordinate the very popular Bake Sale.  Please sign up online and forward any questions about the roles to the PAC prospectlakepac@gmail.com. 

We are also in need of a few more volunteers for the night of the dance as well.  We are looking for people to help with set up and decorations, concession and bake sale set up, ticket sales, concession sales, bake sale, and clean up at the end of the night. 

CLASS REPRESENTATIVES

We are still looking for parent / guardians to be a PAC class representative for the following classes:

• Mrs. Tate, Division 3
• Mrs. Bossence, Division 5
• Ms. Lail, Division 8
• Ms. Ashcroft, Division 9
• Mrs. Gladwin, Division 13

This job can be shared between two parents as well!

Duties include: assisting the teacher with communication to parents, helping to organize class events, liaison between the PAC on classroom issues, communicating PAC news with your class, and organizing a group gift at Christmas and at the end of the year for those families wishing to participate.  It would be helpful for the class rep to attend the monthly PAC meetings as well.  If you are interested, please sign up HERE.  Any questions?  Just email the PAC at prospectlakepac@gmail.com

GRADE 5 REPS

Thank you to Shannon Byblow for volunteering to be one of the Grade 5 class representatives.  There is room for more volunteers to help Shannon so if you’re interested in helping with this role, please sign up HERE.  These roles are different than the class rep role, as the Grade 5 Rep(s) are responsible for all communications between the Grade 5 students and families only; not the specific classes.  Duties include: liaising with parents and school staff for grade 5 specific events and activities (ie. Grad clothing, the grade 5 class trip, graduation, and fundraising events). If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the PAC Executive at prospectlakepac@gmail.com

ATTENTION GRADE 5 PARENTS

If you would like to be added to the Grade 5 contact list, please email wendy_bird@outlook.com and provide the following information: your name, email, and your child's name.

Emails will be sent out to all Grade 5 families (BCC’d so addresses are not shared) regarding any and all Grade 5 events.  This could be fundraising activities, Grad wear, Grade 5 camp day, the yearbook, graduation and more.

Thank you to those families we have already heard from!
