 The VSB has asked us to pass along this message.
*Host an International Student - Join Langara Homestay* Langara College invites you and your family to join our highly regarded Homestay Program by hosting a VSB international student this year. Our students come from Europe, Asia and South America - usually stay for five to 10 months, and are keen to experience life with a Vancouver family. Generous reimbursement is provided. Please call 604.323.5696 or email homestay@langara.ca for more information. FunLunch Days are a part of the PAC’s fundraising efforts, but more importantly they are a lot of fun for the students! Parents will also love having one day a week when packed lunches are not needed.
There will be 11 FunLunch Days and 3 Smoothie Recesses between April 10th and the end of the school year. The spring session includes: Fresh Slice Pizza, Sushi Day, Hot Doggel Day, and Subway Meal. Ordering is available on the Munchalunch website starting now! Finish your order by midnight on Monday, April 3rd (Easter weekend, before the kids go back at school) to meet the deadline for the first Subway Day on Tuesday, April 10th. Please visit the David Livingstone PAC website for more information about the FunLunch program, ordering guidelines etc, and contact Mackenzie Stonehocker with any follow-up questions. If you have new ideas or initiatives that you would like to help make happen next year, please get in touch with the PAC Executive at livingstonepac@gmail.com in advance of the April PAC meeting.
The April PAC meeting will be dedicated to discussing, formalizing and getting the ball rolling on plans for 2018/2019. If you can help with either of these upcoming events, please get in touch at livingstonepac@gmail.com

Although preliminary, it looks like net profit will be over $23,000 (to be divided between Livingstone and Brock)! An amazing night yielding amazing results for our kids!
We are so thankful to event co-chairs Julia Hibbard and Joanna Cook, MacDonald Realty for sponsoring the champagne reception, Karley Rice Personal Real Estate Corporation for sponsoring the balloon raffle, and John Rice of Jarvis McGee Rice for sponsoring the ceramic plates our kids painted. Food was generously donated by Simon Cotton from The Reef, Sonia Strobel from Skipper Otto’s Community Supported Fishery, and Adam at Nester’s Market. We are very lucky to have Faculty Brewing sponsor the beer for the event, and more huge thanks to those who donated wine, including Brennan Cook (the Roleur Group), Mike Kerfoot (Sprout Accounting), Alix Mosby and David Goodison (4Front Mortgages). Finally, since September we have had an committee of dedicated parents helping with planning, auction solicitation, décor ideas, and everything else so a MASSIVE thank you to Jodi Adrian, Maggie Anderson, Maggie Campbell, Tanya George, Vanessa Lobel, Anne Marie Waddell, Jessica Zallen, Cristina Manicom, Becky Kerfoot, Steph Hawkins, Nicole Oliver and Cher Quigley for all the sweat equity they’ve put into the Soirée. Thanks to Rob Weaver, our dj Reese, photographer Halle Adrian and to Nicole Oliver, our MC for the evening, as well as everyone who volunteered to bartend, set-up, sell tickets, donated items and helped tear the event down so we could minimize costs and make the most money possible for our kids. Volunteers will be making fresh popcorn on the following days.
