Fundraising committee!!

Thanks to all of you who have offered to help out with the fundraising committee.  I will be setting up a time for us to meet early next week.  If there are more parents who are interested in helping fundraise, send me a quick email so that I can get your name and email on our list.  My email address is kzgallant@edu.pe.ca
Also, I would like to remind parents that we are hoping to get most of the deposits in before Friday. If this is not possible send me an email or a note to school with your child.  I need to know who is interested in participating and the approximate time when the deposit can be made.  If funds are a concern, please come speak to myself or your child's teacher.  The earlier we are told, the more we can do!!!  Any child that wants to participate in this experience will have have the opportunity to participate.  I will be meeting with the facilitator from the Camp at the teacher's convention in mid-October.  I will have more news to tell you then!

Thanks,

Krista

The beginning!!!!

Welcome everyone,  I am hoping that this will be an easy and effective way to communicate information and updates to parents.  I will be telling the students when a new entry has been added to the blog, however, it wouldn't hurt to check it periodically.  Many fundraising events or ideas will be posted here as well as information regarding things the students should bring, what they should expect at le centre nautique de l'Istorlet, the camp in which we are participating and lodging at.  Le centre nautique de l'Istorlet's website is http://www.istorlet.com/ if you would like to check it out. We will also be using the blog to update parents as to how the trip is progressing.  This is such an exciting adventure for your child to embark on.  I am certain that it will only increase their love and passion for the french language and culture.  I am looking forward to our Wednesday night meeting at 6:30 PM.  See you all there!
