Hello Parents,
Our K/Gr 1 class raised over $40 for the students and their families of the Batwa people in Uganda. They are encouraging our other classes to raise more than them. This challenge is open until tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov 26. If every child brings $2-$3 (or more!), other classes have a great opportunity to be victorious. Thank you for encouraging your child to participate in this Christmas giving project.
Regards,
Kristin

Dear Family,
Every Christmas, we like to encourage our students (and families) to share the Christmas spirit of giving to those who have much less than we do. This year, we have chosen a project in Uganda for our focus. A group of young p eople from BC, organized by our school authority, is going to Uganda to help a school and improve conditions for students of the Batwa people. A pamphlet with more details is attached and will be coming home to you. Donations are tax deductible and receipts will be issued for amounts of twenty dollars or more. All funds collected for this will be applied directly to the project. Please consider helping these people.
For logistical reasons, we are only collecting monetary donations for this project. Donations must be brought to the school by Nov 21. In addition to the Uganda project, there are a few classes taking part in the Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes, so your child may also have information regarding that project.
Thank you in advance for your generosity in helping students around the world to have an opportunity to read.

Parents of Grade 9-12 students,
Just a quick reminder for us to take advantage of the opportunity available today from 3-7 to attend the "Work BC Find Your Fit" Career Fair at the school. This is an impressive set up with a lot of career information and resources as well as a dozen personnel on site to answer any questions you or your child have about different career opportunities.
I strongly encourage you to take some time and check it out. Thank you PCS admin for making this opportunity available to our students and to the parents.
Important:
It has been brought to our attention that people are driving from our parking lot to the main road without stopping. We are requesting the parents and students remember to be aware that they need to yield to traffic on the road, which has the right of way. It should also be remembered to drive slowly as there may be children in the parking lot.

We are excited for additional support of our school program from the Chetwynd Public Library this school year. Part of this support is to bring library books out to each student, according to their requests, typically on the 3rd Monday of every month. We recommend you have a conversation with your child about this program and the positive aspects of reading. You may also want to discuss what topics he/she has requested and talk about his/her interests. We do not plan to monitor the book choices of your child. We hope this program will be positive encouragement for your child to spend time reading.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
