Lochside No-Sort Bottle Drive
We are having a Bottle Drive next Sunday, November 6th from 11:00am to 2:30pm in the school main parking lot. Please save your bottles and bring them in to help raise funds for LEPAC. And please spread the word!
We are still seeking at least 6 more volunteers for hour-long shifts. If you are able to help with this no-sort bottle drive, please consider signing up through this link. Thank you!
Card Project
The card project is back!
The children have worked hard on some art that you can have turned into greeting cards or other personalised items. Please check it out at www.TheCardProject.ca and use our school Access Code: LX62. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these cards goes to LEPAC initiatives.
All students who were able to participate should be bringing home a sample card in the coming weeks.
The priority order deadline is Sunday, November 6 for delivery Nov 21-25
The final order deadline is Sunday, November 20 for delivery Dec 5-9
If you have any questions or need help, please contact marcelle@thecardproject.ca
Class Reps
We are still seeking Class Reps for some divisions:
Div 1 - Niedjalski

Div 9 - Sihoe
Div 12 - Cavallin
Div 13 - Hillier
Div 14 - Kovaks

Being a class rep is a minimal time commitment but really beneficial to the class. A class rep can put together a contact list for the class to help organise social activities and group gifts - something greatly appreciated by other parents/caregivers!
