Thank Yous

A huge thank you to Kelsey, Heather, Trish and Lindsay who helped bag up our Purdy’s orders last week. Thank you also to Stephanie Kitlin and Tracey for helping hand out art cards and all the continual support of LEPAC they provide!


Food Drive

Our food drive for the Mustard Seed and our Lochside Community is happening this week: December 6 - 10th. Please bring food bank friendly food in with your child or drop it off outside the main entrance. 


We are also looking for volunteers to help staff put together some hampers on December 9th after school. Please volunteer through this link here


Holiday Book Shop
The holiday bookshop is happening December 8-9th!   Students will get a chance to “shop” for up to 2 books.  The recommended donation is $2/student.

Please send in good condition, used books for grown-ups - but no outdated computer books, religious books, etc. We are also looking for donations of wrapping paper and gift tags. There will be a box by the front doors for your donations.  

Half the proceeds will go to LEPAC and the other half to the Mustard Seed.


Thank you to all the parents who have volunteered, and to our coordinator Eva!


Virtual Wish Tree

Lochside is staying Virtual this year in support of families in our community. Please sign up to fulfill a wish of a child or family during this holiday season.

LEPAC Monthly Meeting

Country Grocer Receipts

Please bring in all your Country Grocer receipts before the start of Winter Break - ask your friends for theirs too! There are collection envelopes around your child’s classroom and also a box in the main foyer. 2% of the total collected will be reimbursed as gift cards to LEPAC. Easy peasy. Thank you to Lindsay for your hard work with this initiative.
