Some of you may wonder what is the purpose of having a Parent Advisory Council. The PAC is here to support our children’s educational and extra-curricular experience. If you read the attached document you can see how we have done that this year. It’s an interesting read!
Every parent of a child at Ecole Central is considered to be a PAC member, regardless of whether you are able to attend the meetings or not. So well done parents! We appreciate what you all do to make Ecole Central a great place to be!
There is still room available at this year’s French Camp. This yearly event is held at Gwillim Lake July 28th to August 4th. For more information please call Paula at (250)261-8105.

Just a reminder, that this fundraiser is ongoing. There are some really nice label ideas for Mother’s and Father’s Day! I think I might just have to buy some for my husband….Now is also the time to be thinking about summer camp and how you are going to keep track of all those items the kids need to take with them. There are even kitchen and household labels to keep you organized at home.
