Germain Street School PTA
"A million voices for children"

Dear All,

Please join us tonight for our last dine-out event of the year. It will be held at Mc Donald (Corner of Desoto and Devonshire) from 5 to 8 PM. The raffle price will be a $100 gift certificate to Best Buys.

See you tonight,

Thanks you

Your PTA

Thank you very much to all the families who purchased any items from our Sweet Success fundraising.
The delivery will be held near the lunch area at Germain school on Monday April 4th, 2011 between 2:30 and 4:30 PM

We sold 1180+ items which is more than last year. That is a lot of items to distribute. The big rush is during the first hour so if you can make it after 3H30 it will be faster for you to get your order.

See you tomorrow afternoon.

Your PTA

Note: We are still accepting volunteers for the distribution of the items. Come as early as 1h30 PM if you can help thank you.

One more push, tomorrow is the last day to bring your entertainment book order.

If you want to keep the book, please just send the order form with $25.00 (attn: Germain PTA).

If you need more than one book, keep your book and send the order for with the correct amount of money ($25 x # of books ordered).

Make sure you indicated your kid’s full name and class number. You child will bring home the ordered books by week end.

If you still have your sample book and don’t want to buy it, please send it back.

Thank you all for helping your school be a better place.
