Garibaldi appreciation tea

Hello everyone, Hopefully you have received a note from the school inviting you to come to the Volunteer Appreciation Tea happening on June 18th at 10:30 am.  Please try to find a minute to drop by the library on Monday morning, as the teachers and administration would like to thank you in person for your assistance over this past school year.  If you haven't done so already, please send Rita Conte a quick email to let you know you can make it at rconte@vsb.bc.ca .  All are welcome as you have all done something to help support the school in some special way. Warm regards, Jen Gunasekera

Some examples are: I hope that you will sum up the comments and provide an online document that acknowledges the comments and feedback so we know they have been heard and followed up on. – Concerned Parent   Would you please fix the search function on this website? – Richard An opinion is much more complex than a “thumbs up” or a “thumbs down”. I would urge you to maintain the serious nature of discourse on this site by not oversimplifying opinions but instead by requesting that people respond intelligently and with some detail if they agree or disagree. – Christian   I suggest adding a Facebook like button for the blog! - Parent BC Education Plan is redesigning their website this summer and is looking for your input into what you’d like to see. Complete the survey and visit the discussion forum to leave a comment and/or suggestion.  (http://engage.bcedplan.ca/2012/06/question-21-redesigning-our-website/)   Please share this with your friends, colleagues and networks as well. The more people who share their ideas the better.
