2) *UPDATE + More Volunteers Needed May 27-31* Staff Appreciation Week 
- UPDATE: One of the ways we will be celebrating Staff Appreciation Week is by having the students decorate a cloud with a message for a staff member they'd like to shine a light on.
In case you didn't get a paper copy in your child’s backpack last week, attached is a PDF copy you can print out, decorate, cut out and return to the basket by the main office. You can make as many as you like!
- URGENT Reminder For Volunteers: Staff Appreciation Week is May 28-31, with May 27th being a set up day.
[Additional Volunteer Details]
Let's celebrate our wonderful staff and admin of Lochside!
- If you are able to contribute homemade treats for Wednesday, May 29th, we would appreciate a dozen of your favourite cookies or brownies etc.
- We are also planning a potluck on Friday, May 31st and would appreciate any tasty treats and meals to be dropped off to the staff room on Friday morning.
