October welcomes us with beautiful weather! 
This month, PAC kicks off October with a family fun Movie Night!  Next, we have two important fundraisers starting with Clothing Drive, then launch of the Direct Drive.  Finally , we will wrap up October with an epic costume party - Family Spooktacular Night!  Stayed tuned for info.

We realize that there are a lot of paper forms that go home with students.   Please note that throughout the year, any PAC related notice will be printed on yellow paper. This avoids confusion in determine if the event is a school event or a PAC event. We'll do our best to keep you informed.

Fall Clothing Drive - Monday to Wednesday Oct 16, 17, and 18

Time to clean out your closets and cupboards to make room for winter!  Over these next few weeks, take some time to stuff the donation bags with items you no longer need at your home.  Bags and notices have been sent home.
 
On the mornings of Oct 16 and 17, simply drop off your full bags along the walls in front of your child’s class.  On Wednesday Oct 18, Developmental Disabilities Association truck will take away our bags.  For every full bag we bring, the Cash4Clothes program will give money to our school. 

If you have an hour or so, on the drop off mornings, please meet us in front of the school office as we can use some help to move and sort the bags.   Thanks and we look forward to another successful clothing drive!
