AGM & ELECTION OF NEW EXECUTIVE
Unfortunately, we were unable to hold the AGM and election of a new executive as planned on May 23rd as we did not have nominations for President/Co-President yet. The decision was made to postpone the AGM until June 20th, in hopes and anticipation that the extra time will allow us to provide additional information about the position and propose additional updates to the Constitution and Bylaws, which will clarify all the executive roles. Please consider your ability to help the PAC in any capacity. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us at prospectlakepac@gmail.com

SUPPORT OUR GRADE 5 GRADUATES WITH THEIR FUNDRAISERS!!
Each year our graduating class of grade 5’s celebrates their end of Elementary School with a day trip to a local camp. This year our students are heading to Camp Imadene. As the cost of everything has gone up significantly, our graduating class of 63 students need to raise $100.00 each to cover camp, plus an additional $30 to cover the cost of their yearbooks. To help raise money to cover these costs, there are two on-going fundraisers available:
Is your recycling filling up with empty beverage containers and milk jugs? Looking for somewhere to return them? Why not bring them to the Glanford Bottle Depot! Our Grade 5 graduating class is hosting an on-going fundraiser. You can drop off your empties and donate the deposit under the account "Prospect Lake Grade 5 Fundraiser”. All the donations raised will go towards helping these students pay for their year-end day trip to Camp Imadene, and to help cover the cost of other graduation activities and expenses.
If you shop at Country Grocer, our Grade 5 students would happily take your receipts off your hands. When you return your receipts to the school (bucket by Mrs. Blackwell’s desk), we tally up the total spent and submit it to Country Grocer. Country Grocer then gives us a portion of our cost spent back in gift cards. Our grade 5 parent reps then sell the gift cards to anyone that would like one (usually in $50 increments) and the cash received goes back towards the grade 5 graduating classes year end activities. This is a year-round and on-going fundraiser. Any money left at the end of the year gets carried over to next year’s graduating class. It benefits everyone!
If you have any questions about the above fundraisers, if you would like to purchase some of the Country Grocer gift cards, or if you would like to support our graduates in a different way, please contact Sam at sambeecher@hotmail.com
YEAR-ROUND FUNDRAISERS
Please help us raise funds for our children and school with these ongoing fundraisers:
- Please save your receipts from Country Grocer. Place them in the bucket on top of the wooden PAC mailbox beside Mrs. Blackwell’s desk. This fundraiser helps support our Grade 5 graduating class each year with their camp day and other special graduation activities.
- If you shop at Peninsula Co-op or buy gas at Save on Gas, please quote membership number #79184
Please make sure to thank these local businesses for the support they provide our school.
