PAC Meeting
The first PAC meeting of the year will be held next Wednesday, September 19 from 6:30-8:00 pm in the Hudson library. Snacks, juice, coffee and childminding are provided!
Activities
Welcome back students & families! ‘Go-live’ registration for Term 1 activities starts September 13. We do have less space to work with & no field for the time being so we have limited activities as a result. However, popular activities such as Choir, Ocean Explorers, Dance & Moresports will be back. NEW activities this term:
– Expressive Arts
– Escape Room
Regarding CST activities registration – we will hand out registration forms in the classrooms on the day of classroom promos. There will also be some outside the school office. But now the forms must only be submitted on the day of onsite registration (Sept. 24th) at 8:30 am. If parents are not at the school in the mornings, they are able to give their child the registration form to return as long as they have payment in a sealed envelope.
The activities calendar will be up on the PAC website. Registration will open this Thursday morning, September 13. See https://hudsonpac.ca/activities/
Hot Lunch
Our Hot Lunch fundraiser is in full swing with the first lunch scheduled for September 13. But we need volunteers! Even if you are all thumbs in the kitchen, our fun team is ready for you to help. Contact Hot Lunch Coordinator Marina Bondarenko. 604.908.7855 musea79@hotmail.

Class Reps
We are looking for one parent volunteer for each division to serve as a Class Rep. Class Reps serve as a connection between your class’ parents and your child’s teacher and the PAC. Each week, the Class Rep will connect with their teacher to gather any reminders specific to their class (e.g. field trips, activities), and then will send an email to the class mailing list with the class reminders and a copy of the PAC’s reminders for the week. Ideally, the Class Reps also serve as their class’ representative to the PAC, and will try to attend the monthly PAC meetings and forward along any questions/concerns that parents have for the PAC.

Seismic Upgrade
On September 10, The PAC Chair invited the VSB Chair (Janet Fraser) and another Trustee (Judy Zaichkowsky) to visit our school to meet with parents and review the challenging space issues. We are trying to make sure the initial analysis includes the issues you will find on our seismic advocacy page.

Mabel’s Labels Fundraiser
A parent volunteer set us up with Mabel’s Labels. This is a good product if you want to keep track of errant items that our children manage to deposit in strange locations. Labelling makes finding things in the lost-and-found easier! To participate, go to
