Online Auction

9/30/2012

 
Picture
Quebec 2014 is now holding Tennyson's first ever Online Auction, running now through Thursday at 10:00pm.

Tennyson families have over a dozen items with over $1600 street value - all available at well below market price!

Please check it out! The auction is open to all (Tennyson and non-Tennyson families), so please help us spread the word.  

All proceeds go directly to the Quebec 2014 cultural exchange for Lord Tennyson students.

Terry Fox Run

9/27/2012

 
The annual Terry Fox Run was held this past Tuesday, organized by Mme. Cynthia's Division 1 (Grade 6/7) class.

The children ran laps of the school and collected a popsicle stick after each lap. Afterwards, the Division 1 class gathered all the popsicle sticks and will use them to calculate the total distance ran by the school and map this against the distance ran by Terry.

Nice work to combine the school curriculum with a great cause!

Online Auction Preparing to Launch

9/27/2012

 
Our newest FUNd Raiser is preparing to launch. We are preparing for an online auction and are now collecting items to auction. We've already broken through a street value of  $1,000 worth of Auction items! 

Please submit more items by Friday so we can reach our goal of 12-24 items for this first (of several) auctions. 

Over the course of the school year, we all already spend lots of $ on night classes, entertainment and other stuff. So do our families and friends. But why pay others? We all have something or some capability that others will pay us for!!!

First PAC meeting a hit

9/26/2012

 
Weren't there?  Boy, you missed out!
The turn out was great but there were still seats to be filled.  Next time (Oct 9) be sure to reserve your spot!
M. Carrier talked about technology use in the school and Tim and Toni gave an overview about this website.
We had a lot of new faces which was exciting and some super new ideas.

Have a voice at Tennyson - come to PAC meetings. The next PAC meeting will be on Tuesday, October 9. 

Tennyson's First Zero-Waste Event

9/21/2012

 
Quebec 2014 is proud to announce Tennyson's first (but not last) ZERO WASTE event!

Couldn't find a garbage can at last night's BBQ?
We all saw Janine Brossard and her recycling station, but did you know that exactly ZERO "garbage" was created at the Welcome Back BBQ?

No garbage resulted from the BBQ - nothing will end up in a landfill or incinerator!

Where did it all go?
  • All plastics (soft/hard): Pacific Mobile Depot 
  • All Juice boxes & plastic water bottle: Encorp
  • All metal/aluminium: CoV blue box recycling
  • All food waste: CoV green bin composting
  • All food based paper waste (napkins, burger paper, plates):  CoV green bin composting
  • Paper cups: Pacific Mobile Depot

A huge thank you to Janine for making this happen.

If you'd like to join Tennyson's new Zero-Waste team, email us at [email protected]

Not sure what is really garbage?  
Janine and her helpers know.
Thank you for the amazing garbage, composting, and recycling station, Janine.  And THANK YOU for taking EVERYTHING with you at the end of the evening to make sure it gets to the right place.  Tennyson thinks you are awesome!

2012 Kick-Start Campaign Kicks-Off

9/14/2012

 
The second annual PAC "Kick-Start" direct appeal fundraiser is now underway.  Information about this should have come home with your child today. Please see the Kick-Start page on our website for more information and a downloadable donation form.

Last year, families donated $5980.  We hope to be at least this successful again this year.  It goes a long way towards our budget which requires $16,400 in fundraising for 2012-2013.

For more information on how PAC uses these funds, please see our PAC fundraising page, and please consider making a tax deductible donation.  

Thank you in advance for your support!

Your 2012-2013 PAC Executive
