Greetings!
Dear Parents: During the months of May and June, the general feeling of most is that school is winding down, preparing for the summer. At PCS, this is the furthest thing from reality. There are so many things left to do and enjoy. In May, there is Night at the Museum, The Whole-In-One Golf Tournament, and Community Family Day, as well as track and field. In June there is the Impacting for Life Fundraising Cruise, Grade Eight Graduation, Wonderland trip, Medieval Times, as well as junior and senior baseball.
As we desire to finish well, please continue to pray for the school's staff and students as we work together in all areas of school life.
Yours in His Service,
P.D. Ogborne, Ed.D.

Community Family Day
The excitement levels are rising! Community Day is fast approaching.
A Few New Things!!!
New inflatables this year: Circus Obstacle Course, 4 Man Olympic Joust, Bungee Run, Rope Ladder, Happy Face Room
A New Activity: 10 Themed Gift Baskets - Each grade is putting together a themed gift basket. We are hoping to raise funds to offset some of the costs associated with the day.
Your class mom will be calling about contributions towards your grade's basket. Note: If you have three children, you will be asked to contribute to only ONE basket. If anyone has empty baskets that they would like to donate, please drop them off at the office.
Last year's Chili-Cook-Off was so much fun! We had approximately 8 contestants all competing to be No. 1. Ballots were handed out and intense voting took place. It's a great deal - $5.00 gets you a PCS Mug and unlimited chili. We are actually looking for more chili-makers!!!
Call either your class mom or e-mail Chris Quinn at cquinn@pickeringcs.on.ca if you can assist. We are looking for more volunteers this year.
Any alumni students looking for community hours? Please call Chris Quinn.

PCS is very interested in what you have to say about your child's educational experience and our engagement with you as a family. Whether it is about your child's academic, social, spiritual or emotional needs, we want to hear about it.
Similar to the PCS Family Survey distributed in 2011, we would like you to consider filling out the online survey for this year. You can access the survey here
