Everyday millions of children are deprived of a basic necessity...education. Our intermediate 'We Club' is trying to make a difference by asking students to bring in their spare change to give to developing countries to educate their children.  Collection boxes are located in the front entrance.  .

Good Evening! Deb Legault here with your Sunday Night update from General Lake Public School.
The week begins on Monday, Nov 4 Day 3
Intermediate students have volleyball on Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning at 8:30. 
General Lake is proud to announce Le Chef a Lecole will be visiting our school on Monday and Tuesday. All immersion students will be taking part in this unique hands on experience. Students in the Grade 6,7 ,and 8 Core French program will also be taking part.

On Friday, It is hot lunch pizza. Also at 12:30 we will be having a lock down drill and evacuation.  Members of the OPP and the MP's will be on hand as we practice this important safety measure.  We will evacuate to the Southside Community Centre at approximately 1:00pm. 
Finally, a couple announcements from our School Council. Please remember to send all money into the school in a sealed envelop or bag. Also just a reminder the Council does not reimburse the cost if the student is absent. That being said, at times, staff at the school have reimbursed funds if they purchase the hot lunch from the absent student. But just remember this is just a courtesy and should not be expected.
Don't forget to continue to send in that Canadian Tire Money as well as those stamped Moncion receipts.

Mark your calendars for some of the exciting events:
 Nov 11 we will be having our Remembrance Day Service.
On Nov 12 our Bookfair will begin.
Thanks and enjoy the remainder of your evening.
