Lunch Fundraiser Issues and Concerns – New Regulations

On Thursday May 8, 2014 the PAC Executive was informed of changes that come via Vancouver Coastal Health. These changes radically alter what Hudson PAC can do with its Lunch Fundraiser program. This program, whereby parent volunteers provide lunch for Hudson children, has been ongoing since the end of World War II. It’s a part of the fabric of the school.
The PAC Exec’s very preliminary review of the PDFs attached indicate there will be a huge impact on how the PAC raises funds.
We have asked the VSB via the Principal that we run the program with manageable variations and use the 2014-15 school year to determine solutions and changes.
PLEASE … come to the next PAC Meeting on May 13 to express to the Principal how important the program is.

Be on the lookout for lice

There have been some cases of lice at school.  Please be sure to check your child thoroughly.  Take precautions to keep from spreading this pesky nuisance around your class and the school.  Talk to your kids about sharing hats, clothes, brushes and hair accessories.  For further information and remedies, please see your family practitioner and pharmacist.
Check out this document on detecting lice.
