2007-2008 Council
Thanks to all the parents who visited us at the school Open House as well as attended the first Council meeting of the year. 2007-2008 promises to be a busy year for Clemens Mill Public School and Council. The majority of the time of the first Council meeting was spent on electing new members, who will spearhead the development of value-added programs and services, their delivery, and fundraising efforts. Your 2007-2008 Council is:

Executive:
Richard Marcil, Chair
Elizabeth Ney, Secretary
Ozzie Ahmed, Treasurer
Roger Boettcher, Principal
Alison Wardrop, Vice Principal

Parent Voting Members:

Should you have any questions on the above or council in general, don’t hesitate to attend any of the meetings (always help on the 3rd Wednesday of the month) or ask Mr. Boettcher at the school office. Get involved, have fun and make a difference!

October 19th Meeting
The second Council meeting of the year is scheduled for Wednesday October 19th at 7PM. At this meeting, Council will focus primarily on priority setting and budget allocation. It’s an important meeting in that much of the 2007-2008 activity gets locked over the months of October and November. We will also begin brainstorming value-added programs and seminars for the second half of the school year. As always, all parents are welcomed to attend and participate! A detailed agenda of the meeting will be available Monday October 17th at the school office.

Zehrs Save-a-Tape Program
Did you know that Clemens Mills Public School received $350 from Zehrs Markets last year for participating in the Zehrs Save-a-Tape program™? This is easy money for the school, and contributes nicely to ongoing fundraising efforts. You can drop off your Zehrs tapes/receipts in a specially marked box at the entrance of the Cambridge Centre Zehrs, or collect your tapes/receipts and bring them to school. Special thanks to Zehrs Markets for their continued community support!

Campbell’s Labels for Education
Much like the Zehrs program, Clemens Mill Public School can benefit from participating in the Campbell’s Labels for Education™ program. This program awards free educational equipment to schools in exchange for proofs of purchase from the Campbell family of brands. And with cold weather rapidly approaching, this is another easy means of fundraising for Clemens Mill! Special thanks to Campbell’s for their community support.
