Message from the pac Chairperson

Spring is around the corner and I think we are all looking forward to the nicer weather, this year more than ever!

This year we have limited the number of fundraisers since we are missing so many of the fun events. We’ve focused on things that will bring families and the community together and/or help our children grow and develop. Over the break we have a couple options for fun & practical learning. Our virtual book fair is underway until the 14th; reading is a great way to spend an afternoon! Also for our older students, we have Red Cross certified online classes, for Staying Safe at Home or Babysitting. Whatever your plans, stay safe & enjoy each other!
