Welcome Back for the 2023/24 School Year
It's going to be a great year at Pleasant Park Public School and your School Council is excited to meet parents new to our school and welcome others back. We are pleased to have Principal Mark Cruise and Vice-Principal Caren Hollinger back this year, providing us with a stable administration for PPPS.
School Council is comprised of parents and guardians who want to be involved in their kids' school, help fundraise and enhance school experiences and be engaged in the learning process. We meet once a month and offer many ways for parents/guardians to join us. From helping run a movie night, to volunteering at our book sale or pizza days, or joining School Council on our executive or committees. Some examples of things your School Council provides for the school are as follows; hot lunch days, funds for classrooms and field trips, movie nights and special events, infrastructure like bike racks and playgrounds, and so much more.
New to Pleasant Park PS this year is our almost $70,000 Outdoor Classroom. This project started in 2020 and was envisioned and completed by parent volunteers to provide a wonderful outdoor learning space for our students and educators. It took three years of planning and fundraising with the support of donations from parents and community, Desjardins, the OCDSB, the City of Ottawa, and other grantors. The Outdoor Classroom will benefit PPPS for years to come!
