Message from Doug

I spoke with Doug yesterday. 

He is overwhelmed by the fundraising response.   

With a quivering voice, he asked me to make sure that everyone knew he was grateful and thankful.   Doug will start radiation treatment next week.

He will need to go every day next week as they target specific spots on his brain.  He laughed as he told me that they did not what to zap him fully in one day because he would end up with a radiating and glowing head!

New Road Patrol Lights

One foggy morning Dave Jacque from Digital Signs sent me an email. “Couldn’t see the patrol through the fog! I have an idea for solving this problem.” 

Dave designed, built, installed and donated our new LED lights on the poles. Our KEA crossing can now be clearly seen.  Thank you Dave - we appreciate your kindness.

Thank you to Musayyab Sahib for donating two LED batons for our road patrol teams to use when visibility is poor. W e appreciate your kindness.

Please mark your calendars. 27 August is a teacher only day. This is day comes out of a contract negotiation with the Ministry. 

Our board chose a Friday for this Teacher Only Day, thereby creating a long weekend for families. There will be another teacher only day on 22 October and Calf Club Day in Lieu will be 26 October.
