Volunteer Prize Draw
Carolyn Phillips is the second winner of our Volunteer gift basket draw. Carol has been doing the Morning Watch program three times a week at Lochside Elementary starting every September for 3 years. This program is a very valuable service as it ensures that all of our students are accounted for. She also volunteers at the Scholastic Book Fair and the Teacher Appreciation events. Carol has two daughters: Katie in grade 4 and Allie, who is now at Royal Oak. Come by and say hi to Carol some morning at the drop off. Thank you Carol for all that you do to make our school great!
Fun Lunch Feedback
The fun lunch team are looking for your feedback! Did you know that the fun lunch program is LEPAC's biggest fundraiser? It is a win win for our school - the students love fun lunch day, parents get a break from making lunches, and we raise funds to support field trips, buy musical instruments and host artists in residence among other projects. Please help us plan the fun lunch program for next year by completing this short survey.
