Dear Prince Charles families, Spring is just around the corner as we’re into March in what has been a busy school year, with much more to come. We hope you all enjoyed taking part in our Wellness Night and Family Skates. Thanks to everyone who helped raise funds for our Dance-A-Thon. There’s still lots more to come this year including our Family Literacy Night, Spring Fling Carnival, Book Fair, Author Visits, Guest Speakers and more!
As we approach the 75th Anniversary of the school coming up in the fall, School Council is planning the celebrations and we’re looking to hear from Alumni. We’ve also supported our brand new look uniforms for our sports teams to help commemorate 75 years of Panther Pride. We appreciate the time everyone took to respond to our survey and give your feedback.
Our next School Council meeting is Thursday, April 3rd at 7:00pm in the library. All are welcome to come join us!

Playground Replacement Campaign
After the results of our survey showed a resounding 81% of the school community is in favour of replacing the play structure, School Council elected to move forward on the project with a goal to have a new play structure as part of our 75th Anniversary. We’re pleased to say we’ve already secured around $20,000 towards the project! It’s a great start and we’ll have more information to come as we continue our fundraising efforts to replace the current playground structure. Thanks to all who have contributed already. Let us know if you or your business would like to donate funds. Tax receipts are available.
Dance-A-Thon was a Glowing Success!
It was quite the party at the school for the Dance-A-Thon Glow Party! From glowing bracelets, to glow in the dark clothes, the kids were dancing up a storm and singing along to their favourite tunes, all in support of our Playground fundraiser.
We’re still counting up all the donations, but we can report, thanks to your efforts, the Dance-A-Thon to date has brought in close to $7,000!
There’s still time to send in your donation forms and envelopes and the online donation portal is always open. Tax receipts are available for donations over $20. Donate online. Under Fund Destination drop down, select “Prince Charles P.S.-N165”. In message box, include student name, class and Playground Dance-A-Thon.
