Hello wonderful parents,
Due to a number of exec members not being able to attend, we need to reschedule our annual general meeting (AGM) of the PCS Parent Committee (PAC). We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
New Date: Wednesday, October 2nd (previously Friday, Sep 20)
Time: 6:30 PM
Location: Peace Christian School
We look forward to seeing you there! Let’s make the meeting a success together! 
Hello Families,
We have our first week under our belt! The Friday Flash is for news about what’s happening at school that goes out every week or two to help keep you in the loop. As always, please reach out to the classroom teacher or office if you have any questions or concerns.
Students are doing well at learning/remembering the structure of school and all it entails. Most of our students have come with water bottles and shoes, so thank you! High school parents, if you’re able to check in with your child about indoor shoes, that would be appreciated.
Enjoy your weekend and the beautiful weather tomorrow!
Mrs. Atherton

Verse of the Week – Psalm 9:1
"I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders."
Hello Families,
It was great to see so many smiling faces in our building today. The day went well, with a few bumps. One was our phones. Our main number was down today (788-2044) though our text line was still working (788-2043). Our apologies if you tried calling and didn’t get through. We believe the issue is now resolved.
A reminder that there is no bussing tomorrow (Wednesday). There are no busses into Windrem or from Windrem to PCS. We are sorry for the gap in service. Thursday and going forward, all busses are running their regular schedules. The busses to PCS leave between 8:15 and 8:20 and return at 2:45 pm.
Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. We’re off to a great year!
Kristin/Mrs. Atherton
Hello Families,
Thank you to all who came out today! It was great to see you and you helped us be more prepared for the first day of school. We hope it also helps you know what to expect throughout the year.
We are still looking for part-time assistance with Reception and Education Assistant duties. The hours are great for a parent and there are a variety of tasks to keep it interesting 🙂 If you are interested or know of someone who may be, please let us know.
If you missed coming today, we will reach out to you and make a plan for completing the items we covered. Some of you let us know you were unable to attend, which is appreciated.
A note on bussing this coming week:
Tuesday – there are no SD59 busses into town, but there are busses from Windrem to PCS. Parent drop-off is 8:15 am and pick-up at 2:45 pm.
Wednesday – there are no busses. Unfortunately, we were not able to have anything in place for this day.
Thursday & on – regular busses are running, both SD59 into town and the shuttle busses out to PCS. As on Tuesday, parent drop-off is 8:15 am and pick-up at 2:45 pm.
We have a few filing cabinets and a couple of shelves available by donation. Pictures are attached (shelves come with the boards for shelves). Please let us know if you would like something. The filing cabinets are good for storing all types of items, not just paper. They need to be moved within the coming week.
We look forward to seeing all the students back on Tuesday!
Have a great weekend,
Mrs. Atherton
Our building is a flurry of activity in final preparations to greet you tomorrow (Thursday). We look forward to seeing both students and parents/guardians for orientation. Please come between 10 am and 4 pm for about an hour, visiting various stations to be prepared for this school year.
See you soon!
Hello Families,
We hope your summer is going well and you’ve enjoyed the lovely weather we’ve had. As the weeks pass, this coming school year is coming closer and we are busy getting ready. Our building is messy with shelving being installed, floors being deep cleaned, and furniture being moved. Our teachers are starting next week at preparing their classrooms and plans for their classes.
To help you be prepared, here is a little information:
For our Kindergarten to Gr 6 students, we provide the majority of the school supplies needed. Each student needs to bring a reusable water bottle and indoor non-marking shoes (white soles are preferred). For our youngest students, please purchase shoes that do not have laces to tie until students are able to do this without assistance.
For Gr 7-12 students, here is our School Supply List. A water bottle and indoor non-marking shoes are still required. Cleats may also be preferred for PE classes outside on the field. A pair may be available at school if you would like.
Orientation Day is Thursday, August 29 from 10 am until 4 pm. We ask that all students and a parent come during this time. It typically takes 1-1.5 hours to go through the various stations and complete all the items needed. This helps us be prepared for the first day and you to be successful for the year.
Our first day of school is Tuesday, September 3. We start with regular times of 8:30 until 2:30. Another reminder and more information about bussing will come before then.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone in two weeks!
Until then,
Kristin/Mrs. Atherton
Hi Families,
Remember us? 😀 School is mostly empty but there are still a few of us accomplishing tasks during the summer months to ensure a good September start. It’s peaceful but oddly quiet.
We said some hard goodbyes last week but will be saying some new hellos this summer and September so we are looking forward to that. Until then, enjoy your summer and the beautiful warm weather after a great rain!
Take care,
Mrs. Atherton

Verse of the Week – Psalm 67:1
"May God be gracious to you and bless you and make His face shine upon you."
Just a reminder that the bus going to Moberly Lake will be loading at 8:15-8:20. It will be loading again at noon and should be back by 12:30.
It won’t be a hot day but hopefully nice enough to still enjoy a few hours outside. Students need to bring water, snacks, warm clothes, hat, and an extra change of clothes is recommended. There will be a few items for games, potentially a camp fire, and some leftover food for a few to snack on.
Here’s to good weather tomorrow and a cheery end to our year!
Hi Families,
We’re loading the bus outside Windrem between 8:15 and 8:20 tomorrow.
K-Gr 6: please bring a sack lunch, water bottle, swim gear. A hat and sunscreen are also good as the morning will be outside.
Gr 7-10: please bring a sack lunch and water bottle or $ for the concession.
K-Gr 8 will be back at Windrem about 2:45 pm. Gr 9 and 10 students will be back at IGA about 4:30.
Looking forward to a fun day!
Hello Families,
Wow! Just one full week of school remains followed by a couple of fun days. We are celebrating our graduate this coming week and the promise of a bright future. There is a lot happening between now and the end of school so please take note of the items below. Wishing each one a great weekend!
Mrs. Atherton
This Coming Week
