Thank you to all the parents who provided food and helped with set up and clean up for the Staff Appreciation Lunch. It was a great success!! In case you were curious: The Victoria Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils (VCPAC) is the official representative for School District 61 Parent Advisory Councils. Their primary task under provincial legislation is to advise the School Board on “any matter relating to education in the school district”. Our Frank Hobbs PAC is one of the 49 VCPAC member schools, and provides one way for parents, that's you, to have input into education in SD61. Cross Country and Track and Field A special thanks to all those parents and teachers who came forward to help out with the Cross Country and Track Programs. As a result of their efforts these programs continued to be a great success this year. Special Thanks!! To Peppers Grocery and the Village Starbucks for their endless support of the school and events.
Frank Hobbs School Announcements A TREMENDOUS THANK YOU What a year we have had! A huge thank you to our PAC for all their hard work this year in getting so many initiatives working in our school….phenomenal fitness support, move for Health Week, tennis, chess, family dance, field trips, a Fine Arts Performance to name just a few of the things that we all have appreciated this year. Thank you to everyone for your support and hard work! Special thanks go to Anna Willis for keeping our entrance window looking so inviting to our new families. Thank you! A huge thank you to all of our Call Back parents who have faithfully come each morning to make sure that all our students are here or safe at home. We really appreciate the time that you take out of your mornings to do this. A special thank you goes to Brenda Micco for coordinating this very important program for the safety of our children. Thank you parents for reading to your children, for supporting the school staff as we support learning for your children, and for sending your well nourished, well rested, well loved children to us each day! SUN SAFETY The number of sunburns children receive increases the risk of developing skin cancer. Sun damage is not just caused by burns - overexposure to UV radiation over time causes damage that can also lead to skin cancer. Whether playing sports, going for a walk or on fieldtrips, or just spending time outside playing, please help your child(ren) remember the following: SEEK shade and limit sun exposure between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. SLIP into comfortable lightweight clothing made of tightly woven fabric. SLAP on a broad-brimmed hat. SLOP on broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or greater. SAVE YOUR SMILE CARDS FROM THRIFTY FOOD! We have applied to continue our participation in the Thrifty Smile Card Fundraising program for the 2010/2011 school year. You can keep your card that you received from Frank Hobbs and use it next year when the program restarts. If you add funds to your card between now and the start up of the new school year, it is still good to use, but Frank Hobbs will not receive the 5% of the amount you loaded onto the card. WATERING VOLUNTEERS FOR SUMMER The Garden Club is looking for volunteers during the summer break to help with watering. Come out and spend some time in this very tranquil setting with lots of room for children to enjoy. The watering can be done by hand from the facet in the garden or by the sprinkler provided. Please see the signup sheet in the office or contact Barb Bundon barb.bundon@gmail.com, or Peter Willis pawillis@shaw.ca for more information. We are always looking for volunteers and donations.
