Unfortunately, there have been some issues with people trying to pay for Hot Lunch orders through PayPal and credit card. As well, some parents had an issue trying to place orders in Hot Lunch program.  This seems to be corrected. However, there still seems to be a problem for some people paying with PayPal.  Most parents are able to order and pay without issue, however, we had about 30 families who were unable to pay. Both PayPal and Hot Lunch are looking into the issues. If you have placed your order for next week and not yet paid due to the PayPal issue, we will be able to see your order and place it verbally with the vendors. If you still have an issue by Sunday evening trying to pay or place an order, please email and e-transfer Michele Coles at mhcoles@edu.pe.ca.  Please ensure that you put your child’s name on the e-transfer so we know where to apply the funds.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Last April, Canadians rallied together in support of the victims, survivors and families of the tragic Humboldt Broncos bus crash.  This year, the family of Logan Boulet is holding the first annual national Green Shirt Day in honour of their son and the Broncos family, and to increase awareness about the importance of organ donation. Green Shirt Day is on Sunday, April 7, but schools and workplaces are being asked to participate on Monday, April 8. Before Logan Boulet was fatally injured in the Broncos bus crash, he had registered his decision to be an organ donor and discussed his wishes with his family. The 21-year old defenceman went on to save six lives with his generous gifts. In the weeks that followed, Logan’s story inspired more than 100,000 Canadians to become registered organ donors. This became known as the “Logan Boulet Effect”. Now, the Boulet family would like that legacy to continue through an annual Green Shirt Day (greenshirtday.ca, #GreenShirtDay). It is hoped that schools will join in this movement of hope and inspiration by wearing green or a hockey jersey on April 8.

Tomorrow, Friday March 15 – School Spirit Day – Staff and Students are encouraged to wear Green to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day

Spring Picture Days are Thursday, March 28 – Friday, March 29
