We have some fun events coming up as we approach the end of the school year and 2 months off of school.
June 14 - Sports Day June 22 - Year End BBQ The kids really enjoy these events, and what makes them come together are volunteers to pull this off. We're hoping for 15 volunteers for Sports day and about 10 for the year end BBQ. We require baking, raffles, serving food and other duties as required. Lets finish this year off great! 
 On our May 15th PAC meeting the members were asked to nominate and vote on the PAC Exec that would be administering the PAC activities throughout the 2018/19 school year. First, though, we'd like to thank the continued support of our departing PAC Exec members. Their dedication and support are what has helped the PAC have a successful year.

April 22 - Farmers Market - Volunteers needed at sale station We have a couple events coming up that need volunteers.

Fundraising from totes and shirts support the school's Athletic uniforms and sporting equipment. 
Dear A.R. Lord Community,
The tragic accident involving the Humboldt Broncos team and the loss of so many lives is difficult to comprehend and accept. Every Canadian, regardless of where they live, feels a sense of sadness, loss and sympathy for the players, coaches, families and communities directly impacted by this terrible accident. April 12th Jersey Day: A group of hockey parents from Langley are encouraging others to wear sports jerseys on April 12th as a gesture to let families directly impacted know that they are not alone. Some Vancouver schools are participating but individual families should decide whether they would like their child/children to participate in this event. Thank you for your continued support. Ms. Trovao  The park board is meeting Dec 11th to make a decision on the proposed demolition of templeton pool from the vansplash survey results.
Please spread it out there far and wide. We need the commissioners to hear that this little pool is a special part of our community. Thanks for you anticipated support. Jason M. Parent  UBC Girlsmarts, a non-profit organization launched by the UBC Computer Science department to help girls spark and sustain an interest in computer science. Our organization has been running workshops since 2004 and we often partner up with various local tech companies (including Microsoft, Amazon, SAP, and many others) to run many different workshops and activities for girls in grades 6 to 12. We were wondering if you would be interested in learning more about our workshops and possibly letting parents on your mailing list know about workshops we are offering.
We will have workshops for grade 6 girls (in partnership with Microsoft) and grade 7 girls (in partnership with SAP). Our grade 6 workshops will be held at UBC on Saturday, January 20, 2018 and Saturday, February 3, 2018 and will teach girls about programming their own game, cybersecurity, creating their own webpage, and hardware. The next grade 7 workshop will be held on Saturday, February 17, 2018 at SAP Vancouver (in Yaletown) and will teach girls about design thinking, programming, and designing a user interface. We are also offering technical and business mentors to help them participate in Technovation, a global competition to create an app to solve a problem in their community. Mentors will be sourced from industry professionals at Tasktop Technologies, a local tech company, and UBC undergraduate students. This will mark the second year that UBC CS and Tasktop are working together to mentor girls for Technovation. Last year we had a very successful initial participation in this challenge with two of the teams winning their category - one of which won $5000 after attending the finals! http://www.cs.ubc.ca/girlsmarts4tech | girlsmarts@cs.ubc.ca. |
