Dear Parents,

You may have seen the posters around school, or heard them say … “Let’s GLOW this Friday!”

Reminder: GLOW Dance Party is this Friday, November 15th, 6:30-8:00pm
Our first spirit event of the year is this week!  Don’t forget to wear white, bring a water bottle, and come ready to dance the night away with DJ Alioop!  Please be reminded that parent supervision is required and this event is for Dorothy Lynas families only.  $1/per child.

Next PAC Meeting: Thursday November 21st, 7:00-8:00pm
Please join us in the Dorothy Lynas Library, for our second PAC meeting of the year including an update from the Seycove Auction Coordinators.

Following on from the well-attended PAC Welcome Back Coffee Morning on Sept 27th where we wish to thank Bean Around the World at Parkgate for providing refreshments, we want your input on what you would like to see your Parent Advisory Council (PAC) focus on for the 2019/2020 school year.  Please click here to fill out a quick poll/survey and you will be entered into a draw for a $10 Starbucks gift card.

Hello Dorothy Lynas Community

We need your help!

Our Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is a key part of the Dorothy Lynas community that relies on the generous volunteer contributions from parents to support a number of important fundraising programs. The proceeds from these programs enable the school to purchase items such as home reading books, computers/iPads, projectors, sports equipment and musical equipment.

These programs won’t happen without the support of our parent community!

There are countless opportunities, both big and small, and many opportunities can be done from home and outside of school hours.

You can learn more by:

1. Joining us at our next PAC meeting on Monday September 16th at 7:00pm in the multipurpose room
2. Checking out our PAC website and volunteer page at http://dorothylynas.com/useful-info/get-involved/
3. Contacting us at emaildlpac@gmail.com
   

Let’s rally to help one of our own. Lisa Williams recently lost her home and suffered burns to her body. Her son is a Dorothy Lynas Dragon and we know they could both use our support. A Go Fund Me account has been set up and we encourage our families to help out in any way they can.

Let’s show our support.
