Student Safety -‐ Valet Service Michelle Bernard, a parent volunteer, is putting together a traffic safety committee.
Michelle is looking for at least one parent volunteer a morning to supervise the grade 6
& 7 students while they are on "valet traffic duty". This is a great way to get involved
with the school and help ease traffic congestion in the mornings. Time commitment
would vary depending on the volunteer's availability. Time commitment could range
from one day a week for 30 minutes, to a few days a week. If you are able to sign up to
help support the safety of our children, please email Michelle at
