Please note, our school really does it's best not to "over message" parents - the Parent Association may be a different story ;) - and I'm sure you've already received the email/text/phone message regarding this topic -- this is a topic our school feels is VERY relevant and important in todays time. The grade 4/5/6 presentation is not free, and school budgets are tight, but our school recognizes this topic is important enough that they paid to bring this presenter to our school. We are very fortunate. By securing Paul to speak to our students, it also provided parents an opportunity to attend this Parent Education Workshop. If you are able to attend, please do. Even if your children are young - this information will become relevant to you sooner than you can imagine!! (And we do not know if/when we will have another opportunity like this) I have room available in my vehicle to take a few parents. If you would like to attend do not have transportation, please call the school and leave a message for Parent Council, and I will return your call within a day or so.
Regards,
Pineridge School Council Chairperson,
Karen MacKinnon
