Firewood Fundraiser has been set for October 15.

To place orders call the school at 250-788-2044.

Wood is cut to 16inches and is split and delivered in 2 cord dump truck loads. (Not stacked). Cost per dump truck load is $400.

We would like to sell 20-24 cords.

Detailed information about this fundraiser will follow.

Thank you!

Update on Oct 1st Fun Fair (3-6PM):

Look for a note coming home soon (or a “verbal note” from your older grade student) from their 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.

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

The classroom game and food booths will be raising money for the “GYM FLOOR FUND”.

There will also be a table of donated craft items/gifts that will be sold to help raise money for the gym floor. As a special outreach project 50% of the proceeds from the craft sales will go to purchase “Education Kits” for children in Cambodia through ADRA (Adventist Disaster Relief Agency). **If you have homemade craft items you would like to donate for this event, please drop off at the school anytime from now until the Fun Fair.

Thank you for your support!

Families: Help needed for Hot Lunch Program and Milk Program

In order to run the hot lunch and milk programs this year we are in urgent need of more volunteers.

Basic descriptions of the volunteer jobs are provided below. If you did not sign up to be a helper on registration day, and you feel this is something you could help with, please call and give your name to Mrs. Price at the school (250-788-2044) BY FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29.

Hot lunch Volunteers: (Wednesday)

A) COORDINATORS (4 more needed): Are responsible for a set meal. Bulletin board in kitchen will have the number count for your meal to aid you in buying the groceries needed at Super Valu. You are also responsible for sending a text reminder to your assistants and dessert makers on your hot lunch day. You are also asked to ensure that the kitchen is clean and all hot lunch materials put away. Typically, you would be on a 6-week rotation.

b) ASSISTANTS (8-10 more needed): Are responsible to assist the Coordinator for that meal. Be at the school by 8:30 on the day that you are assigned. Help clean up after the meals have been served. Ideally, you would be on a 4-5 week rotation.

Milk Program Volunteers: (Tuesday/Thursday) (4-6 more needed):

The milk program runs Tuesday/Thursday. The volunteer would need to pick up the pre-ordered milk from A&W Tuesday morning – and deliver to school. The milk is then labeled with the child’s name and put into baskets for each classroom on Tuesday and Thursday morning. Janet Wark is the Coordinator for this program and will be doing the schedule and the ordering. Typically, volunteers have been responsible for 1-2 weeks at a time a few times a year.

Thank you for considering whether you can be a part of these fundraising programs. Last year the hot lunch program raised over $6,000 and the milk program $1,000.

Sincerely,

Dori Shankel

Parent Committee President
