Letter from your PAC
Dear Canyon Heights Families,
During these challenging times we are reminded that our community is more important than ever. We are all doing our part to curb the spread of this virus in hopes that we can get back to our normal routines as soon as we can. With that, the Gala committee and the PAC Executive have made the decision to cancel Soirée 2020 that was scheduled for April 18th. For those that have already purchased tickets, please be assured that we will be notifying you shortly on how your purchase will be refunded. When the situation calms down and we are back to school we will then meet again and decide on what we will do as a PAC to continue our fundraising efforts for our school.
Hot Lunch
By now you have received an email from our hot lunch coordinator on what is being done with the spring term hot lunch orders. If you are alright with rolling over your purchase amount as a credit to the next term, you do not need to do anything at this time. Please contact the hot lunch team if you need a refund.
After-School Programs
Each of the After-school programs will be contacting each family that has already booked for the spring term. They will let you know how to get your refund if you have already paid. Please contact the PAC if you have any problems with that.
I hope you are all doing well and doing your part to stay home if you can and practice safe distancing. Our Canyon Heights Elementary families are a close group and we can all do our part to help tame this virus quickly so we can all see each other again soon on the school grounds.
Take care and stay safe,
Jeff Maihara and
your Canyon Heights PAC
