Hello Livingstone Community,

The Livingstone PAC held its first meeting of the Fall term on Wednesday, September 28, 2022, on Zoom.  Minutes from the meeting can be found here: September 28 Minutes
 
BE HEARD. We did not have time for our Community Building and “Getting to know you” survey at the PAC meeting, so we have linked it here: Parent Survey.  It should take less than 5 minutes to complete and will help inform your PAC’s activities going forward.
 
MARK YOUR CALENDARS! October 5 is “World Teacher’s Day.” The PAC will provide small gifts to the teachers, but please encourage your children to make cards or notes of thanks to give to their teacher(s) on October 5th. You can print a free colouring template here.
 
TELL YOUR STORIES! As part of the Fall Fund Drive (coming up after the Thanksgiving long weekend), we want to hear from you and your kids.  What programs have the PAC funded that made a difference to you and/or your child? Please email your stories to [email protected]. We will feature one story every day of the Fall Fund Drive on our Facebook page: Livingstone School Community | Facebook

Here is an example:
"In 2019, my daughter was in Kindergarten at David Livingstone. Funds raised by the PAC were used to bring in a special education program called "Project Chef." Students learned about food, were encouraged to experiment (I think my daughter tried 17 kinds of lettuce!) and got to make a meal from a recipe with the help of parents and teacher volunteers.  Since then, my daughter has been making salads for the family (sometimes for breakfast?!) regularly and I can tell it's had a lasting impact on her interest in food and cooking." ~The Clayton family
 
WALK-A-THON T-SHIRTS – Walk-a-Thon t-shirts from last Spring have arrived! Delivery will be made to the school the week of October 11.
​
FUN LUNCH REMINDERS Deadline for ordering is Wednesday 11:59 p.m. for the next Wednesday’s fun lunch. October 12 fun lunch is Subway, order by October 5. Please remember not only to order but to process payment by the deadline.
 
Wishing you and your families a happy, healthy October!
