It will be delivered every Wednesday (Valerie offered to help with deliveries). Kathleen suggested ideas for promoting milk program, for example class poster contests and random sticker games.

A. Carnival in January – Volunteers are needed to help on January 14 & 15 – contact Roylene Richie or Simone Snyder.

Valerie is to order some new posters for Carnival.
B. Charitable Project – Kathleen suggested having the students make some decorations or cards and PAC donating money to the Chapman family and the young boy in Kitimat who was in last weeks paper. Mr. Vidal said the school would support that and help with a donation.
