Grade 5’s will be doing a bottle drive on Saturday, March 12th.  Times for drop off are:

• 10 – 4 at Crystal View
• 10 – 11  and 2-3 at the Canex in Belmont Park

All proceeds go to our graduating grade 5 year-end activities.  Please help us support our students as they finish their time here at Crystal View.

Parents can also pick up their COVID rapid tests on Saturday at Crystal View from 10 – 4 during the bottle drive.

There will also be a COVID test distribution time at John Stubbs by the Elementary Wing from 4:30-5:30 on Monday March 14th.

If you haven’t returned coupon books the PAC really needs them back.  They will need to pay for any lost books and that will cut into the profits of this fundraiser.  Please send back payment or coupon book with your student.

Parents/guardians can pick up COVID Rapid Tests on Friday, March 4th  from 2:30 to 4:00 pm

Monday, March 7th from 7:30 to 9:00 am

Monday, March 7th from 2:30 to 4:00 pm

If you cannot make any of these times, please contact the office to arrange a time later in the week for pick up.    Please remember that each family will need to pick up their own kits and cannot pick up kits for other families.  Thanks everyone!
