Thank You!
A big thank you to all the families who ordered items through our virtual Book Fair. We raised $170 in credits to which Russell Books then topped up with an additional $500 of credits for our Learning Commons to use!
Also a huge thank you to Peter who fixed our broken popcorn machine. Kids can expect to have another popcorn day this Wednesday.
LEPAC Meeting
We will be having our monthly PAC meeting in the Learning Commons this Tuesday April 12 from 6-8. New thoughts and faces are always welcome.
Court Yard Helpers
Mr. Vickers is looking for ongoing volunteers to help clear up the court yard. If you enjoy being out in a garden and working with your hands, please contact Tom!
Changes to BC School Food Guidelines
The BC Government has put out a survey to gather feedback on proposed changes to the Guidelines for Food and Beverage Sales in B.C. Schools. Please take a moment to fill it out as it could mean big changes for the way our schools hold events and run fundraisers. Check out this news link for more info.
Survey closes April 30.
Please ensure you are doing a daily health check with your student(s) and keeping children home if they are not feeling well and then following guidance of public health or the BCCDC as to when they can return.
Reporting an Absence or Late Arrival
Please email lochside_attendance@saanichschools.ca to report your child’s absence or late arrival. You may copy the email to the classroom teacher as well.
Ongoing Fundraisers
We have a few fundraisers that run year-round and help out LEPAC with things you might ordinarily do anyway
Our new bottle refund bin - leave your returnable empties in the blue bin at the end of the driveway
Country Grocer - Save your receipts and bring them back to school with your child
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!
