2. $ for the BBQ items – We will have a ticket area where you can purchase tickets for your BBQ items (Hamburger or hotdog) and drinks (juice or Pop)
 
3. ECO-FRIENDLY – We are happy to announce that AVPS is working towards a more eco-friendly environment and events which includes eliminating single use plastics and waste! 
 
Please bring your own CUTLERY/DISH/MUG/CUPS – we will have a RINSING STATION available for you. While we transition into our Dish Lending for events, we will have paper plates available.  There will be no plastic water bottles for sale. Instead, we will have a FREE water station for you and water fountains are in the school.
 
DONATE TO OUR DISH LENDING KIT
***PLUS we are starting to build our very own AVPS Dish Lending Kit to use at our events.  If you have extra dishwasher safe, non glass PLATES, CUPS or CUTLERY to give, bring them with you and donate them to our kit. We will also be arranging for a drop off box in the future. Thank you for helping reduce waste in our landfills! ***
4. Dress for the weather!  It’s looking like a nice week, while we will have some seating, you are welcome to bring blankets and chairs to the BBQ as well.

Welcome to the 2019-20 school year!

Posted on September 3, 2019 by Lynne Scholten

As summer vacation comes to a close, here are some activities that School Council has planned for the school year to help you plan for the year to come. We will work to update the webpages as the events approach, but the information from last year’s events may be helpful for families new to the school:

Council meets the third Wednesday of every month at 7:00pm in the school library (except for the Annual General Meeting on Wednesday, September 25). Please feel free to attend any meeting at any time.

Welcome!

THANK YOU!

Alta Vista School Council would like to THANK EVERYONE for making this year’s Spring Fair such a success! 

Thank you for the countless donations, from small toys for games area to large items for the silent auction and everything in between.  

Thank you to the hundreds of people who came and enjoyed themselves at the fair

Thank you to all the students and staff , who keep the spirit going.

Thank you to the 75+ volunteers who assisted us over Friday and Saturday. Plus the team who create the beautiful class baskets.

Thank you to one amazing mother nature, for providing such a perfect day.

This event is special, not only because it is our largest fundraiser of the year, but it also gives us an opportunity to come together as a community to have fun for a great cause….the photos say it al!!   

Thanks to all of the above,

we raised over $10 000!  

These funds will be used to support learning and well being at AVPS, things like: 

supporting school clubs and student participation at offsite events.

such as sporting and math competitions and fields trips

purchasing sports equipment and learning tools and books for classrooms.

providing opportunities for students to experience dance, sport and mindfulness programs, community speakers and student performances.

 

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

Each year we strive to make this an event to remember.  We would like to make it even better!  Please take a few moments to complete our Spring Fair Survey and help us plan for next year.
