Parent education night brought to you by your P.A.C. and SD 61<br />
<br />
In honour of pink shirt day and Vic West's ongoing commitment to its students we bring you a speaker focused on antibullying. Learn more about what bullying is, what to be aware of if your own child is at risk, and strategies to "bully-proof" children and schools.<br />

<b><br /></b>
We are looking forward to the Winter concerts December 18th, and the Bake sale fundraiser that will be held after each one! We know that there are some extremely talented bakers in our school community and we hope you are able to donate some yummy treats to the sale. Goodies (no nuts please!) can be dropped off the morning of, or on your way into the evening performance just outside the gym.<br />
Once the holidays are done we need to find two people to volunteer to head our annual Family Games night event, January 31. Do you love games? do you have a friend who loves games? You are our people! This event is fun, and easy to coordinate with the support of your pac.
