Dear Peace Christian School Families,

 

We are excited to inform you that SPIRIT WEEK will be from October 9th to the 12th.

Spirit week is a fun week that promotes community and helps us celebrate our school pride. All students are encouraged to participate and join in on the fun.

The dress up days will be as follows;

Tuesday (Oct 9) Pajama day

Wednesday (Oct 10) Wacky hair day

Thursday (Oct 11) Hat day

And the final day,

Friday (Oct 12) School Spirit Day.

School spirit day is when you wear your school T-shirts, hoodies and jackets. If you do not have any of those then you can wear the school colour which is green.

Thank you for your participation in this year’s first Spirit week

The PCS Student Association

Mark your calendars!!

The Famous PCS Fall Fun Fair has been set for Oct 28 (3-6PM):

Look for a note coming home in the next week or two (or a “verbal note” from your older grade student) from your child’s classroom providing the item that your child has been asked to bring to the Fun Fair for their food or game booth. As well, they will be assigned a certain time in which they are scheduled to help at one of their booths.

Tickets will be sold at the door for $0.25 a ticket.

Thank you for your support!
