A Message From Lesley Aitken, PFLC


Some of you may know that the IRC Parent and Family Literacy Centre (PFLC) is moving to room 108 next year. Well we are in need of a little assistance. We are developing an exciting outdoor play space at the school for next year and need some heavy lifting done. There is a giant tree slice that needs to be moved into the space from the Ossington/Dundas area. We are in need of a pickup truck and some muscle to move the wood. I think the truck will need to have a ramp. If anyone is able and interested, please let Parent Worker, Lesley Aitken know or leave a message in the office before the end of school.

** We are also searching for a large wooden spool like the ones used by Toronto Hydro. Please let me know if you have any contacts I might be able to ask.**
Thank you!
Lesley Aitken
Parent Worker

Big Bake Sale Thanks!!



Thank you to all the talented bakers who so generously donated to the Fun Fair bake sale! Your goodies were not only delicious but also creative. It was a wildly successful sale and the tables were basically sold out by day's end! We will do our best to return labelled containers to to the correct room if that was included in the labels, but if not and you would still like to retrieve it, please head to the school kitchen where you dropped off your goodies. Thank you, thank you, thank you again! We could not have done it without all your help!
