Thank Yous

This past week has been BUSY and many thanks are owed. We are so grateful for our Lochside staff and community especially those who volunteered for last week’s Holiday Book Shop, Popcorn Day and Fun Lunch.


LEPAC Monthly Meeting

Our December Meeting will be happening this Tuesday December 14th. Enter through the outside gym doors at 6:30 - hope to see you there!


Food Drive

Our food drive for the Mustard Seed and our Lochside Community is going to be extended to Tuesday December 14th. Please bring in food bank friendly food 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 13th after drop-off. Please volunteer through this link here



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. After you have filled your wish please send  the unwrapped gift in a bag with your child to school to pass to their teacher or contact lochsidepac63@gmail.com to arrange for a Covid safe drop off.  If you wish to provide a monetary donation please contact lochsidepac63@gmail.com to arrange.

All wishes must be brought to Lochside by Monday December 13th at 3:00pm

Click here to see the wishes At this time, there is still a big need for Walmart gift cards.

Thank you for any support you can provide.


LASP Winter Break Camp

There are still a few spaces in the LASP winter break camp for December 20-23rd. Please email lochsideasp@gmail.com if you are interested. The cost is $40/day for non-LASP families and they are open from 7:30-5:30.


Country Grocer Receipts

Please bring in all your Country Grocer receipts - 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. All receipts will be collected and counted after school on Monday December 13th.


Ongoing Fundraisers

We have a few fundraisers that run year-round and help out LEPAC with things you might ordinarily do anyway! 

  1. Country Grocer - Save your receipts and bring them back to school with your child

  2. Bottle Depot - Take your bottles in and tell them it’s for “Lochside Elementary School PAC” 

  3. Mabel’s Labels - Try and save your kids’ items from the Lost & Found with cute little labels here. A portion of your purchase will be sent back to LEPAC!
