WEST COAST SEEDS FUNDRAISER - LAST DAY TO ORDER

Today is the last day to order your seeds!

The West Coast Seeds Fundraiser offers the opportunity to purchase vegetable, herb, and flower seeds for the package price, with 40% returned to the PAC.  All funds raised go directly back to supporting our children's enrichment at PLES.

We welcome family, friends, and neighbours to order through our fundraiser too. 

All seeds will be sent home with your child when they arrive (near the beginning of March), so please ensure you fill out the student’s name, teacher’s name, and classroom division number.

Ordering closes tonight (Friday February 2nd) at midnight.

Further detailed ordering instructions can be found HERE.

If you have questions, please contact Wendy at wendy_bird@outlook.com
