BOKS (Build Our Kids Success) is a free and active drop-off program and a great way for our kids to start their day!  Games, obstacle courses and fun to be had.  We are also recruiting Grade 5 students and parent volunteers who can help with this initiative again in the spring.  For more information or to help with this program contact the Healthy School Committee at lochsidepac@sd63.bc.ca.

This has become one of our biggest events of the year!  You don't want to miss out.  This is a great activity to come have some fun, eat some great food and get to know more of our Lochside families!!  Costumes are encouraged!!!!!!!!!

 

CUPCAKES

 

One of the most popular events at the Halloween party is our annual Cupcake Walk.  We encourage families to bake 2 dozen regular sized cupcakes, which are used to give away during our Cupcake Walk.  Some families have made it a tradition to bake and decorate their Halloween themed cupcakes!  It is always fun to see how creative everyone can be!!!!

We ask that the cupcakes are dropped off the morning of the Halloween party (October 19th) on the stage where they will be organized for the evening.  Please label all trays and/or containers.

Thank you!!

Thank you so much to everyone who has signed up to be a class rep! It is such an important role for getting communication to all parents. If you have told a teacher that you will be class rep but have not added your name to the sign up genius, please follow the link to do so. This is how we communicate important information with all class reps.
