3) Happy Mother's Day (if you celebrate)!

Here's a note from our Communications Coordinator, Tera:

As a mother who didn't grow up with a mother (and therefore, never celebrated Mother's Day because I was raised by a single father since the age of 5 months), I just wanted to acknowledge that today may not be something you celebrate... and it may also be!  

So, if you are celebrating: Happy Mother's Day.  smile 

If you are not, have a happy, joyful Sunday. 

All families are different; so no matter how your family looks, or identifies (like my father called himself Dr. Mom lol), may today be a good start to a lovely week for us all!

5)  *Tomorrow, May 15* Grade 5 parents...Lochside and Prospect Lake

Hi there,

The ROMS PAC would like to invite parents of Grade 5 students who will be making their way to ROMS next year, to our May 15th PAC meeting at 7pm in the ROMS Learning Commons.


This meeting is a great chance for incoming parents to meet the ROMS PAC and our Administrators and hopefully look ahead to the new school year and see if they might have an interest in being a part of the ROMS PAC for the 2024/25 school year.

Our May meeting is also our AGM which we will vote in our Executive.  We currently have a vacancy for next year in the role of Secretary.


If you wouldn't mind sharing both our May PAC invite to your Grade 5 families as well as our open Secretary position (or if anyone is interested in another area we certainly wouldn't turn them away!!!) we would be really appreciative.


Please feel free to pass on my name and contact info to anyone if they have questions about our PAC.


Thank you so much

Hope to see you on the 15th of May!!


Smiles

Tiffany
