Milk Program volunteer required

pppscouncil

Parent Council looking for a volunteer to run the milk program. The person needs to be at the school early in the morning twice a week to receive deliveries, and during the morning snack period to monitor classroom deliveries. For more info, please contact Cecilia Lee at hcfourney@gmail.com. Even better, come to next week’s Council meeting on the 30th at 6:45 in the school library!

Without volunteers, most of the programs that we offer simply wouldn’t happen. And hey! We are a fun bunch to work with!

Helping out Clifford Bowey PS

pppscouncil

Hi all: Clifford Bowey PS has moved into the Aviva Fund Semi-Finals! I like to think that our school community last year helped Vincent Massey win this competition – and a new playground!

Please visit the site and register and VOTE – one vote per day is allowed.

Spread the word and let’s help this very special school build a new accessible playground.
