2) *Save The Date* Grade 5 Tree Chipping And Bottle drive ~ Jan 6
- Save the date and tell your family and friends!
- Bottle Drive and Tree Chipping on Saturday, January 6 from 10am to 2pm in the Lochside parking lot. This fundraiser is in support of this year's 2024 Grade 5 class.

4) *Final Reminder* Food Drive - Monday, Dec 4 to Friday, Dec 15
Help Us Fill the House with donations for our community hampers and our local food bank, The Mustard Seed. Our food drive will run from December 4 - 15.
This year the Mustard Seed’s Wishlist Includes:
Sources of protein like peanut butter, canned fish and meat
Healthy nonperishables like cereal, beans, pasta, canned vegetables and fruit
Feminine hygiene products, toothpaste and toilet paper
- To help ensure our hampers get a nice even assortment of items, we thought it would be easiest to break some essentials down by class divisions. We hope this will make it easier for you in deciding what to include in your food drive donation.
- Please have your child colour and cut out the gingerbread man and return to the box located outside the office. They will be used to decorate our school!
Here is the link to view the gingerbread man and other important details about donating. Thank you!
- Every year Lochside families work hard to collect food and build holiday hampers for our school community. This year we are seeking volunteers for Monday, Dec 18 and Tuesday, Dec 19.
