PAC MEETING

We would like to thank everyone that came out to our PAC meeting last week. It was a great meeting with a lot of information shared. You can find the links to our meeting minutes and current financial statements below:

WEST COAST SEEDS FUNDRAISER

The West Coast Seeds fundraiser is back once again this year, and with it, and even larger selection of seeds for sale!! How does the fundraiser work? You pay the package price for the seeds you order, and then West Coast Seeds donates 40% back to the PAC. All of the funds raised will go directly back to our students and supporting their education. The fundraiser will run from January 30 thru February 10, 2023. Ordering and payments are done online through the WCS Fundraising site. ALL seed orders will go home with the students, so please ensure you enter your child’s name and division in the “Company” area. Friends and family members are welcome to order with us as well. The seeds should arrive early March. For detailed ordering instructions, please read the West Coast Seeds Fundraiser Ordering Information page. Any questions? Please contact Wendy at wendy_bird@outlook.com

HOT LUNCH

The MunchaLunch system has the February hot lunches available for ordering. The hot lunch program is meant to be a fun opportunity for the students. If this poses a financial hardship for your family, please contact us.

LOST AND FOUND

Is your child missing an item of clothing? Footwear? An accessory? The lost and found at the school is EXTREMLEY full!! Please take a moment to chat with your child and kindly ask them to look through it to see if they can find anything that belongs to them. Most items that have been labelled have been returned directly to the specific child. If you happen to be at the school, the lost and found is located by the side doors nearest the gymnasium, and on dry days it will be wheeled outside to the under cover area. We appreciate your help shrinking the pile and returning the missing goods back to their homes.

Dozens of new tools — variously referred to as digital therapeutics, neurotechnologies, and digital medicine — are now being developed and marketed. But what do we know about how they work, who they help, and whether they are effective?
