Please see the following message about after school programs  offered by  VSB's West 2 Community Schools Team.  These programs are not run by PAC so please direct questions to Dianne Sankey (email below).

The West 2 Community Schools Team is excited to announce that we will be offering three fabulous after school programs for the Winter Session. 

The very popular Sportball program will be returning!  Open to students in grades K-2, this program will run on Tuesdays, beginning January 26 for 6 weeks.  This program fills up very quickly and registration is limited to 20 students.


Also returning is Babysitting/At Home Alone which will be open to all students in grades 4-7 beginning Tuesday, January 26.  After completing the 4 week program, students will receive their babysitting course completion certificate.

Also open to grade 4-7 students will be a drama program taught by the popular Jodi Pongraatz.  This program will run for 5 weeks beginning Wednesday, January 27.
 Registration forms will be available on Tuesday, January 12 outside the school office.  Payments and completed forms are due by January 18, 2016.  These can be dropped off in the slots in the ledge outside the school office.  Please note that there will be no programs on Tuesday, February 9.

For questions, please contact Dianne Sankey, Community Schools Team Programmer at dsankey@vsb.bc.ca or at 604 713 5825 or 604 813 8776.

Ride sharing to/from Tennyson? Commercial/Grandview-Woodland area.

1/5/2016

0 Comments

 
Please see the following message from Tennyson parents who are looking to share some driving:

Our family will be moving from Fairview Slopes to Victoria Drive & East 8th at the end of this month.  I am going to be travelling overseas for work quite often over the next 6 months. Consequently, my husband and I are looking for another family who would be willing to split some of the driving to and from Tennyson on one or two days a week.


Our two children, Euan and Hannah, are in Kindergarten and Gr. 2, respectively. Both are currently enrolled in before and after school care at TOSS, so times are flexible. We have an 8-seater vehicle and extra car seats, so we could take several kids on the days that we drive.

If you live in  the Commercial Drive/Grandview-Woodland area and are interested, please give Julie (778-891-4030) or Martin (778-320-4030) a call or email us at okeanem@gmail.com.

Au Revoir Mme Lavoie - Bonne Chance!

We said a great big Tennyson good-bye to our principal (of 8 years!), Jacquie Lavoie, on the last day of school  for 2015. She was brought to tears and was overwhelmed by the generous gift that the parents and students presented to her. We wish her the very best as she embarks on her next adventure at Trafalgar Elementary.
