fundraising year! Hope to see

ROYSTON
ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL
LEGACY
PROJECT
Reminder that our PAC is looking
to put its’ mark on our school with
a legacy/capital project. We are
inviting suggestions for this
project from teachers, children
and parents.
Suggestions can be capital
building projects such as an
outdoor classroom or a legacy
program such as yearly
swimming lessons for primary
grades.
No suggestion is too big or too
small. We are just in the idea
phase and want your input.
There will be a red suggestion
box on the office counter from
now until the end of the 2015.
So far we have not received any
suggestions so just a reminder
that this is your chance to make a
big change in your child’s school
so next time you are around the
office pop in a suggestion.
ROBERTA’S
CORNER
We still have 5 Friday hot lunches
and 7 weeks of kitchen
snacks/lunches to heat up and we
are having a period of really low
volunteer turnout.
We need you!! If you can put
your name and phone number on
the list at the side of the fridge in
the school kitchen to be an
alternate when one of our regular
kitchen ladies can’t make it in,
please do. If we are not able to
cover a kitchen shift we will have
to close the kitchen on that day.
As well, if you can spare an hour
from 11:30-12:30pm to help to
distribute Friday Hot Lunch we
would really appreciate your help.
Roberta is still looking for oven
safe casserole dishes for
donation to our kitchen. If you
have any to donate, just drop off
on the kitchen counter.
