Upcoming Construction

The modules are coming! The modules are coming! We have an extraordinary opportunity coming on May 29. The first 9 components of our modular expansion are coming that day. That’s the whole ground floor! This means we will have significant disruption to the driveways that day. While we will be able to have traffic flow during drop-off and pick-up times, there will be limited space available, and we will ask you not to park along the curb or center at any time that day. There will be numerous flaggers, district staff, and school staff on hand to help with traffic flow. If ever there was a day to park away and walk a block, that’s the day. Work will begin at 7am, and will continue until all modules are placed.

Cops for Cancer

Last fall, we had an uplifting and exciting visit on the opening day of the Cops for Cancer fundraising ride. Air1 did a flyover, and the team of cyclists and support vehicles rolled into our driveway to be greeted by hordes of excited kids. And we (well, you) raised funds for childhood cancer research to make it happen. We’ll be hoping for the same visit again next year, but to make it happen, we need to do our fundraising now. As a kickoff to that, we will have a toonie drive on Monday, May 27. Please, if you can, send a toonie (or whatever you want) next Monday to help us get off to a great start. If every kid did that, we’d already be at over $1200. In one day! That’s making an impact.

PAC Treasurer needed

Does your child love coming to PAC events like the dance, movie nights, or Spring Fling? How about field trips? And Fun Lunch? Or maybe they like to play with the recess equipment the PAC provides each year. All of these things could be in jeopardy if we don’t get a candidate for PAC Treasurer in time for the June 10 meeting. Please consider signing up. A PAC cannot operate without a treasurer, so the government gaming grant and more could be lost to us.

Oh, and…

Spring Fling Classroom Baskets

For this year’s Spring Fling we will be having a silent auction to help with our fundraising efforts towards field trip buses!

In addition to our community donations, we are asking our classrooms to help us build gift baskets of varying themes.

Classrooms have been paired up, and themes have been assigned! The links to the Google Sheet Sign Ups have been posted in a PDF on our PAC Facebook page.

The deadline to bring in donations to your classroom is this Wednesday, May 22nd!

If you have any questions please email the Spring Fling Committee at rbepacspringfling@gmail.com

Subway & Booster Juice Fun Lunch is this Friday, May 24th

Please look for the lunch reminder email from MunchaLunch on Thursday May 23rd. If you do not receive it, it means you did NOT pay for your order, and your child(ren) will NOT be receiving their order on Friday May 24th. Please make sure you pack a lunch if this is the case.

If you did receive the email, don’t forget to pack a snack and water bottle for Fun Lunch day.

If your child is absent on Fun Lunch Day, please email hotlunchbulpitt@outlook.com and we will prepare it for pick up. If you cannot pick it up, please consider it as a donation as there are no refunds. Fun Lunch must be picked up between 12:00-12:30pm on Friday at the PAC kitchen.

If you’re able to volunteer for Fun Lunch day please email rbevolunteers@gmail.com.
You can also view the full list of upcoming fun lunches and general information about fun lunches on our website here.
