The annual EMJS Spring Fair will be held on Friday, June 7th from 5-8pm.

• Parent volunteers are still needed to help run this fun-filled family event. Please sign up for a 30-minute slot here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080f45acac2da2f85-pacspring Thanks to those parents who have already signed up!
• There will be a bouncy castle, hamster balls, face painting, a cupcake walk, music, a visit from the Victoria Fire Department and more! 
• Cotton candy, hot dogs and veggie dogs will be sold as a fundraiser (cash only!), and food trucks will also be there. Bring your own water bottles and help us recycle waste into the proper bins.
• Admission is by cash donation (suggested $10-15/family) to cover all the costs of the event, with the hope that we will have some profits leftover to put toward PAC-funded programs next year such as chess lessons, Science Venture and other activities paid for entirely through your fundraising efforts. 

We have partnered with Monk so that families can once again order school supplies for delivery to your child's classroom in September. Monk will generously donate $3 plus 10% of sales to our PAC for us to put toward programs for next year.  

Ordering is now open. To order:

• Visit http://bts.monk.ca and enter our EMJS PAC code: 330CB3 on the SHOP page.
• Select the grade and language (FR/EN) that your child will be in NEXT YEAR and add that kit to your cart. The kits automatically contain all the items marked "required" on the school supply lists. Select additional optional items to add to your cart (the "optional" items on the school supply lists may be things you already have at home and don't necessarily need to buy again).
• New this year, we are adding an "à la carte" option for those who want to build their own kit because they have a number of leftover unused school supplies from previous years - please refer to the school supply lists so that you know what you need to round up from home and what you need to add to your cart.
• During checkout you can pay with Visa or Mastercard and choose free school delivery (to your child's EMJS classroom in Sept), free in-store pickup, or home delivery.

• Load up your EMJS Thrifty Foods Smile Card every time you shop, particularly in the next few weeks (and you can load it up now and spend it later!)
• Load up your EMJS Fairway Market Community card
• If you do not have either of the above cards, you can find them in the school office, or contact us (exec@emjspac.ca) and we will arrange to send one home with your child.
• When buying bread at Cobs Bread on Oak Bay Avenue, tell them you have a “Dough Raiser” account under the name “Margaret Jenkins”.
• When buying shoes at Finn & Izzy on Oak Bay Avenue, tell them you would like to support Margaret Jenkins school.
• Before your bottle returns are processed at any Return-It Bottle Depot location, let the attendant know you would like the payout to go to “École Margaret Jenkins PAC”
