Maybe this is the year for you to join a community school in your area!  Would you like to get involved?  Would you like to learn a new skill? The registration fees for the whole ten weeks usually range between $10- $20 and that price includes your coffee break as well.  Where could you get a better deal than this?  Please call a number provided for more information!

All our instructors and committee members volunteer their time and without them we would have no program to present to you.  We are so proud and appreciative of our volunteers.  Maybe you would like to volunteer and help out with a community school near you.  Please call a number provided for more information!

Maybe you have a skill that you would be willing to share with others.  We are always looking for new courses and new instructors.  Please get involved by calling one of the numbers provided for more information!  We need you!

Maybe you would be interested in starting a community school in your community!  We, at the provincial level, would be happy to talk to you about starting up a program in your area.  Some communities hold community school at their seniors’ homes, or villa or manor.  These programs can be held morning, afternoon or evening – whatever would suit your area.  There are so many possibilities that could be tried.  We need your creative ideas as we want to continue to build community school into a bigger and even better organization on PEI.  Please call one of the numbers provided for more information!

PEANUT ALERT
Since most, if not all, of our schools are peanut free environments we remind committees that all lunches taken into these peanut free environments MUST be peanut free.

THANKS
The P.E.I. Association of Community Schools wishes to thank our Island Government for the funding they give us each year.  Without such funding, we would not be able to advertise our program and to do many of the other things we accomplish each year.  We do thank you for your continued interest and support.
