A message from School Council:
Dear Paisley Road Parents,
We hope everyone had a wonderful and restful winter break with family and friends.
Our next round of pizza days starts this Thursday, January 8th, and we're looking for some volunteers to handle the pizza distribution at the second nutrition break for the next three months. If you have a valid vulnerable sector check and are available for about an hour on Thursday(s) starting at 12:30, we'd love it if you could sign up at the link below for as many days as you're available to distribute pizza to the classrooms.

Thanks everyone for your continued support of school council and our efforts to make Paisley Road a great place for our kids to learn and grow.
Sincerely,
Your School Council
