The students held their cross-country run on Oct. 5. They also harvested their garden and are preparing to hold a harvest dinner fundraiser on Nov. 2.
A school soccer jamboree is planned for Oct 12.
The election of the new Parents Advisory Council (PAC) is scheduled for Oct. 15. Contact the school at 250-396-7203 for more details.
