WEST COAST SEEDS FUNDRAISER
The West Coast Seeds fundraiser ends today at midnight!
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.
Ordering and payments are done online through the WCS Fundraising site. Please note, the seeds are selling fast and some items are unavailable for ordering at this time.
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.
When will the seeds arrive? The seeds should arrive early March.
For detailed ordering instructions, please read the West Coast Seeds Fundraiser Ordering Information page.

GRADE 5 BABY PHOTOS
This is a message for families with a child in this year's graduating Grade 5 class. It's time to take a few minutes to go back in time and reminisce over baby photos. If you could please find one photo of your child in their younger days and send it to Wendy at wendy_bird@outlook.com , that would be greatly appreciated. Please include your child's name along with their photo. These photos will be used in their yearbook. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email Wendy.
