The Fall Workshop 2025 is in the planning stages. This year we will be celebrating 60 years of PEI Community Schools. This is a great acheivement. Thank you to all the very special people who have made such a success of this organization.
60th Anniversary Celebration for Community Schools
Sixty years ago this year, community schools started on PEI. Who would have thought in 1965 that we would still be going sixty years later.To mark this significant milestone, we have prepared a wonderful celebration and I am here to tell you about it.
A 60th year committee has been formed and we have been working for several months to pull all of this together. So, here are the details of the what, when, who and where all of this will take place.
This celebration will take place from Oct. 3rd to Oct. 5th (Friday evening to Sunday morning) at the Rodd Royalty in Charlottetown. All committee members and instructors are invited.
Our usual AGM that we have every fall will be included as part of this celebration on Friday evening following supper and a guest speaker from government. On Saturday, we will have 2 bus tours – one east and one west – to visit attractions and points of interest. The itinerary for these tours has not been finalized of course, as they are not open yet for us to visit and make sure they can accommodate us. There may be a cost for some of the attractions, but that will be clearer once we know the details. If you are not interested in a bus tour, we will have a scavenger hunt in Charlottetown to pique your investigative skills. Following supper on Saturday evening, we will have special entertainment by Fiddlers Sons. The whole celebration wraps up on Sunday morning with breakfast and a guest speaker.
So, what is all of this going to cost? The cost for those not staying overnight is a one-time fee of only $30. For those staying overnight (whether it’s one night or two), the cost is $50. Hopefully, the individual schools will be able to pay all or some of the cost for you. Of course, the actual cost to the Association is much higher, so that is why we need to have a commitment if you say you are going, as after a certain date, we have to pay whether you are there or not.
We are very excited and are looking forward to celebrating with you. Your chairperson will be checking with you if he or she has not already done so.
Thank you.
More information will be coming.
