Schools re-open on Monday, March 27.

Two options to show your support:

1. There will be occasional “pop-up” sales during lunch or after school that are organized and held by parents of grade 7 students and our Grade 7 Leadership Team. 
2. Express drop off of recyclable containers at the Tsawwassen return it depot. Bag your cans and bottles in a clear plastic bag, take to the return it depot, enter Pebble Hill’s phone number 604-943-0228 at their printer kiosk, print out a label, tag your bag and drop in the express bin. It’s that simple. No sorting necessary. The funds can only be claimed by the school. If you need any assistance with bags or tags, or if you’d prefer to drop bagged items at the school, please email parent of a grade 7 student: Kelly at Kellya_76@hotmail.com to coordinate. Thanks!
