PTL News
Christmas Plant Sale
The PTL is selling beautiful, locally-grown plants to help raise money to directly benefit our students. Our plant sale will run from now until November 27. All orders are placed online at HLCS Plant Sale. By purchasing a beautiful arrangement, not only will you be spreading holiday cheer, but you will also be supporting our Hope students. Placing your order and paying online reduces the risk of COVID exposure while still supporting our PTL fundraising efforts.
All orders must be placed by November 27th. Product delivery and pick up will take place the week of December 14th. Pick up details will be communicated closer to the delivery date.
Please direct any questions to Diana at cuonganddiana@shaw.ca
Thank you for your support, we couldn’t do it without you!
Opportunity for Service
This year, opportunities for us to serve others are limited but, as a member of Hope’s community, you can still make a difference in the life of deserving families in the Tri-Cities.
Our annual Christmas food drive is starting today. We encourage families to support this initiative that will benefit others who are struggling this season.
If you have a recommendation for a family to receive a hamper, please send Mr. Lok a short description of why you are recommending them and their contact details. (jlok@hopelcs.ca)
- Please sign up on the donation form link that was sent by your Class Liaison. In an effort to avoid duplication of items, the items are specific to each class. For example, Kindergarten to bring listed breakfast items, Grade 1 to bring listed personal items, and so on. (This way, we don’t end up with multiples of the same item).
- Christmas wrapped collection boxes have been placed in each classroom for Kindergarten through Grade 8.
- Donations will be collected for 2 weeks – Monday, November 16 until Monday, November 30.
- Donations of cash & gift cards can be taken to the school office for safekeeping.
- Contributions are voluntary.
- For health and safety reasons please ensure all donated items are new and unwrapped. (If food item, please ensure it is not past expiry date).
Thank you for your help & support. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Gemma Hooper at rghooper@hotmail.com.

Climbing Club
The club is taking place every Monday and Thursday (excluding holidays and long weekends) until June 10th, 2021 from 3:10 pm-4:30 pm.
Students are required to bring the following items: climbing shoes, harness, and chalk (chalk bag/liquid chalk). This will ensure that students are not sharing equipment, keeping the Climbing Club as safe as possible.
Students wanting to participate are required to sign up by completing this Google Form: https://forms.gle/tkkLYiJWEmFBavRX7
The Climbing Club is limited to 15 students to ensure safety and proper social distancing. Students will be required to wear masks when belaying and climbing, and wash/sanitize hands prior to climbing. The Climbing Club will have focused training/climbing at the middle school campus, but there will be opportunities to climb at local gyms in the area, in the future. Students/parents will be expected to cover any additional costs related to these outings if the student chooses to attend.
I look forward to seeing you out on our wall,
Mr. O’Dell
