Garibaldi Annex Parents

Our next PAC Meeting will be held on Tuesday March 16, 2010
from 6:30-8 pm in the Library.

We will be screening the movie “UP‘‘ on Tuesday March 02.
The movie will begin at 6:15 sharp in the Library.
Admission is $2 including a juice and a treat.

5 spaces are available for after school daycare. Children will be picked up from Garibaldi @ 3:20 and driven to Frog Hollow where parents can pick up
their child by 6:00 pm. We will have 5 spots available for Garabaldi only if there are 5 families by March 1st. If there is not a demand we will still be looking forward to generating a waitlist so that in September we can accommodate parents needs for the new school year.

The fund raising efforts for the new playground have been a great success.
The people who have contributed as donors and organizers have done a fantastic job of making the playground a reality and I would like to thank you all for your contributions. As we are approaching the final installment we require one more fund raising effort. To meet our final goal we request a suggested donation of $20 per student. A tax receipt will be issued for donations of $25 or more. We ask for this contribution as a way to minimize fund-raising costs, so that all funds go directly towards the final payment. It also enables parents to get a tax receipt for deduction on their 2010 income tax.

The olympic torch will be by Renfrew street on February 12.
Although no field trip will be organized by the School, kids will
be excused from school if their parents wish to take them to see this event.

I am organizing a parent holiday station event with December holiday crafts and activities for all children in the regular classes, VLN and Home Learners program. Parents will run stations for Garibaldi Students. Students will rotate to different stations in small groups. This will be a PIE event (Partners in Education)

I am looking for interested parents who are willing to help. If you would like to help, or have any questions please contact Mary-Ann (a home learner parent) at kitsmandm@hotmail.com PIE has childcare for those parents who would like to help, but have younger children.
