I would like to offer my tutoring services for this upcoming summer. I am a French Immersion teacher. I am very familiar with the new BC curriculum. I have taught grades 1 to 8. I am looking to tutor children privately for a few hours a week via Google Meet. I am available to teach all subjects from the elementary curriculum, specializing in French lessons for younger students. I have a Masters in Education in Second language learning from SFU and a French Immersion specialization from UBC (B.Ed. in French Immersion).
I have graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree at McGill University in Montreal, where I specialized in Linguistics and Education. Furthermore, I have completed my Masters' degree in Education, specializing in Second Language Acquisition at Simon Fraser University. I have a Bachelor of Education from UBC specializing in French Immersion. I have also lived in France for a few months and in Quebec for five years. Please send me an email, if you are interested and wanted to discuss further.

 Tennyson playground was the place to be seen on Thursday, May 11, when we partied until dusk at the Spring Fling. Thank you to the school administration for allowing us to host the party and for being so flexible and supportive of our plan changes. At the last minute, we decided to take advantage of the perfect weather, and moved the disco to the courtyard so the kids, parents, and teachers could dance in the open air. DJ BFAD played one crowd-pleaser after another, and had the audience jumping and singing the entire night. There was rock painting and decoration making in the pod for the creative crew and those who wanted to take a break from the dancing, and there were some sports day games in the playground for the more competitive kids. "It was lovely to be outside in the sun, listening to the music and chatting with friends while the kids danced and played," said one happy parent. Another big hit at the Spring Fling were the face-painters who didn't stop decorating children's faces all night. And I should let you know that the face painters said they had a super time and that "all the children were so nice," so kudos parents for raising such lovely kids. It was fantastic to see Mme Kerri and members of the SOGI club hosting a table at the Spring Fling where they sold crafts by donation to raise funds for Rainbow Refugees, a Vancouver based not-for-profit that promotes safe, equitable migration and communities of belonging for people fleeing persecution based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or HIV status. Thank you for giving your time to attend our event and raise money for such a great cause. Thanks to the delicious baked goods that were generously donated by families and the two food trucks, Meet2Eat and Tin Lizzy Concessions (who sold the grilled cheese sandwiches and poutine), no-one went hungry. Of course none of this could have happened without the wonderful volunteers who helped out on the night. A big shout out to the parents who worked the concession and bake sale, to those who help kids with the arts and crafts and those who volunteered to work security and the door and were re-deployed to run games and other activities. Thank you; you're wonderful! And, last but not least, thank you to Margaux, Sarah, Jenny, Janice, Carmen, Trish, Darren and Orla who planned and organized the night and made it so special for the kids. If you have any pictures you want to share on the blog from the party please email them to info@lordtennyson.ca Lord Tennyson mom available for cat sitting this summer.

Please email Salma @ salma.catsitter@gmail.com PAC Meeting - Monday April 17, 7pm IN PERSON
What: The April PAC meeting When: Monday April 17, 7 pm Where: The school library Babysitting: Babysitting will be provided by Grade 6&7 students who have their babysitting certificate. Agenda
Treasurer and Co-Treasurer
This role requires two people for oversight. Our current treasury duo has the rest of the school year left in their term and now would be the perfect time for a new person to start shadowing and learn the ropes. The Treasurer receives all funds for the PAC, deposit all funds collected on behalf of the PAC in an account in the name of the PAC at a recognized financial institution approved by PAC, disburses funds authorized by the Executive Committee or members, maintain an accurate record of all income and expenditures of the PACm gives a financial report at each general meeting, make all books and financial records of the PAC available for viewing by members upon request. Treasurers work together to disburse funds from the bank accounts (e.g. pay expense reimbursements and approved expense invoices), and collaborate with PAC exec on the annual budgeting process. Experience with bookkeeping and accounting is a bonus but not necessary. Time commitment is 1-2 hours per week, plus PAC meetings and any additional projects. It’s the additional projects (like chasing down former bank account signatories and switching to QB online) that end up being time consuming. The actual paying of bills and accounting is very straightforward. Secretary and Co-Secretary The secretary takes notes at both the executive and general minutes. They are also responsible for sharing the minutes, making edits, filing them in the shared folder and communicating with the webmaster about posting the minutes on the website. Minimum time commitment is 8 PAC meetings a year and approximately 6 hours per month including time to make edits (half of that if there are 2 people in the role) Munchalunch Mastermind Set up and manage the back end of hot lunch ordering, noon hour programs and any other PAC programs. Time commitment is 30 - 60 minutes per day during set up and launch of each session. 1 to 2 hours weekly otherwise. Best part about this job? You can do it anytime and from anywhere! Never make it to the school? Have an alternate platform idea? This job might be for you. This role can also include the following but would be easier if it was further divided: Hot Lunch Coordinator(s) Talking to Admin about the kind of hot lunches that are possible, sourcing vendors and negotiating the menus and prices. The bulk of the work is in September and sometimes between sessions, if there are any changes. A lot of this can be done from home via email and phone. Munchalunch Lunch Coordinator(s) Set up and manage the back end of hot lunch ordering. Includes cancellations, changes and communication with parents. Requires access to a computer. Time commitment is 30 - 60 minutes per day during set up and launch of each session and 1 to 2 hours weekly otherwise. Munchalunch Communication Stays in communication with all the coordinators and ensures all the important information is going to the parents on time. Munchalunch Fundraising Coordinator(s) Set up and manage any PAC programs that are not hot lunch (pink shirts, masks, welcome back BBQ, noon hour program). This takes a bit more time to set it up, but once the programs are running it’s mainly answering the odd email. Also includes communicating with the treasurers and requires access to a computer. Munchalunch Treasurer Keeps an eye on the money side of Munchalunch, checks vendor invoices (sometimes very closely!), makes final calculations of sessions or events, makes sure parents are paying their outstanding balances and keeps in contact with PAC treasurer about refunds and final calculations. Hot Lunch Volunteer Coordinator(s) Confirm that volunteers are allowed in the school, manage volunteers including outlining volunteer tasks, creating a volunteer schedule, informing volunteers about their duties and keeping on top of any changes in volunteers (including the volunteers who are sending the ordering info to the vendors). Can be done from home with access to a computer but it’s helpful if this person could go to school once in a while. Weekly Email Blast Writer Be the author of our weekly email blasts. Blasts come out every week on a Sunday or Monday. Pulling it all together depends how organized you are: approx 2 hours per week. Add an hour per week during busy times - Sep - Dec. This is also a job that can be done remotely.
