End Of Year Picnic
The end of the school year is fast approaching and so is the delightful Merry End Of The Year Picnic! The PPO is looking for volunteer parents to help out on June 22nd. We will be hosting an old fashioned (bring your own food and blanket) picnic on the school grounds from 11:00 a.m. till 2:30 p.m. The emphasis this year is on fun games, live music and getting together, so there will be lots of activities for students, parents and staff to participate in. We welcome any suggestions and volunteer parents to help organize and facilitate the games and activities. We are also looking for donations of baked goods for a shared dessert.(NUT FREE PLEASE) Please contact Michelle Oser at michelleoser@yahoo.com or Stephanie Mullen-Kavanagh at baileykavanagh@sympatico.ca if you would like to lend a hand.
