Hello Parents/Guardians,

Thank you to each one who has provided positive encouragement and feedback to us this school year. We know it helps potential parents and students feel comfortable coming here when they see that others have had positive experiences here.

We’re working on developing video and written testimonials on our webpage (www.peacechristianschool.ca) and would love to have your participation. We plan to have both parents and students featured. If you are willing to participate in the video testimonials please call the school @ 250-788-2044 and ask for Mrs. Siller.

Here is a sample of the questions.

1. What was your main concern before sending your children to PCS?
2. Did it come true, and if not, what happened instead?
3. What, specifically, is your favourite part of PCS?
4. If you were to recommend us to your best friend, what would you say?
5. Is there anything you’d like to add?

For written testimonials, the link is https://goo.gl/forms/e2gvTLgQOk0F6dl12 This is not an anonymous questionnaire. We are asking to state parent’s names with each testimonial, on our website, as to provide more authenticity.

Thank you in advance for your participation!

Your Mom’s Pantry Order will be ready for Pick-up Friday at 2:30 at the school.

Please make sure you arrange to pick up your childs orders at 2:30 — remember some items are frozen so we do not want them sitting at the school over the long weekend.

We are hoping the order will be delivered to the school between 1 and 1:30 — if any parent is able to come at that time to help sort and get ready for 2:30 pick up I would appreciate the help.

Thank you for participating in this new fundraiser.

The fundraising profit and the top three sellers will be announced after the long weekend.

Thanks and have a great day!!
