Weekly Reminders February 18-22, 2019

Schedule:

Monday, February 18: Family Day holiday – NO SCHOOL

PAC Meeting

We have a lot to cover at this meeting: David Eby has sent a letter of support to the VSB asking to maintain our French program and inviting them to ask for a larger rebuild for Hudson. Our PAC Exec will have met with the VSB and will have the results to share. And our seismic committee can tell us about the serious advocacy we need to do if we want to avoid the problems Eric Hamber and Edith Cavell are having.

The meeting will be held this Wednesday, February 20 from 6:30-8:30pm in the library. Childminding and snacks will be available. The minutes from January’s meeting are here, and the agenda for this meeting is here.

DPAC Long Range Facilities Plan Q&A

DPAC has arranged a special meeting with VSB staff for Vancouver parents and guardians to discuss the draft revisions to the district’s Long Range Facilities Plan. It will be held on Thursday, March 7 from 6:30 to 8:30pm. Tickets are available on Eventbrite.

Spring Dance

The Hudson Spring Dance will be on Friday 1st March from 3.00pm to 4.30pm in the gym.
Information can be found in the attachment or on the forms that went home in backpacks last week.
The Dance is free and you don’t need a ticket. To help us gauge numbers we’d appreciate you letting us know if you plan to come by returning the form by Friday 22nd February.
Snacks and drinks will cost $1.00 each, please bring loonies.

All grades are welcome and since this is an after school event with no supervision parents are encouraged to attend.
This year we have a ‘Let it Glow’ theme. As well as decorating the gym we will be handing out glow sticks to the kids upon arrival.
We are pleased to be welcoming back Hudson parent DJ Mik who will be joined by another Hudson parent MC Lincoln. There will be a Dance off at 3.45pm with prizes to the most dazzling dancers and a prize going to the most disco dressed kid.
If you have any music requests for DJ Mik, please write them on the back of the return form or email Stella at hudsonclassrep@outlook.com.

This is a parent run event and, as always, we will need extra volunteers on the day to help: set up (1.00pm to 3.00pm); selling drinks and snacks (3.00pm to 4.30pm); clean up (4.30pm to 5.30pm). If you can spare some time to help make this event a success please let us know by filling out and return the form or emailing Stella at hudsonclassrep@outlook.com. Many hands make light work!
