PAC Happenings
Let’s play ball!
This week the PAC is pleased to be supporting Last Raps Baseball in teaching divisions 3 to 10 some baseball fundamentals. Each division will receive 2 sessions with experienced instructors and learn proper throwing and hitting skills. If your child has a baseball glove or batting helmet they are encouraged to bring it on the days they have sessions.
It’s Sunday and that means another week of making lunches. Make sure you stop in at COBS and get some fresh baked bread and yummy treats for the kids. Don’t forget to mention West Langley Elementary and help us “raise some dough!”
Quote of the Week
Thought Provokers
- I encountered a new term this week: ‘extreme learner.’ While it is applied only to a few, it gives us some valuable insights. How can we encourage our students to be more extreme as learners?
