Pangman

On Saturday, December 4th, 2010 the Pangman Dance Club hosted Santa Day at the school. The children watched a movie at 1 p.m. and around 2:30 p.m. Santa came and handed out goodie bags.

Santa also visited and delivered goodie bags to Seniors at the Care Home and other seniors in their home.

Thank you to the Pangman Dance Club for hosting Santa Day this year and a big thanks to Santa for taking time out of his busy schedule to visit us here in Pangman.

The yearly Craft Bazaar was held at Pangman School on Saturday, December 4th, 2010. This is a fundraiser for the Grade 12 Students. The Grade 12 students sold baking, coffee, and lunch.

There were many vendors with a wide variety of items for sale this year, including Baking, Avon, Toys, Books, Crafts, Jewelry, Chocolates, Christmas Decorations and much more.

A few community groups were there with baking, and other items to sell and raffle, including the Ladies Auxiliary, The Dance Club, Community Calendar Committee, Pangman Library, and the 100 Year Celebration committee.

Thank you to the Grade 12 Students for hosting this year’s Craft Bazaar.

This morning we received an email from Nathan Vass, a 2002 graduate of Pangman High School. He is a die-hard Riders fan and also a musician.

He has written a Saskatchewan Roughriders anthem that he wrote for the Saskatchewan Roughriders as they fight their way to the 2010 Grey Cup in Edmonton!

On Wednesday, October 20th, 2010 Charity Farms started harvesting this year’s crop. There were 4 swathers out on the half section of land dedicated to raising money for Pangman School.

This is the 3rd Harvest to be done by Charity Farms. The first harvest was on September 12th, 2008 and last year the harvest was done on November 10th, 2009.

Thank you to Dale Colbow, Terry Webb, Bill Peters, and Byron Ledingham for helping with the swathing, and also thank you to all the volunteers who have helped with the Charity Farms project again this year.

We are all eager to see the new Community Kitchen built and attached to the Pangman School.

The staff and students at Pangman School are selling magazines again this fall. To check out the great deals, visit www.qsp.ca or take a peek at student’s sales book. Many of the magazine subscriptions are discounted plus our school receives 37% of all magazine sales. We are starting our campaign this week.

If you have a renewal notice from your favourite magazine at a lower price than what is advertised, you can use your renewal notice to get the cheaper rate and our school still makes a profit.

If your subscription is not finished yet, you can choose to renew and the new subscription will not start until your old one has finished.

All the money raised will be used by the SRC. Last year the SRC paid the phone bill for the student phone, purchased additional student-choice books for the library, purchased games for students to use at noon and purchased materials and prizes for spirit and activity days.

The students and staff at Pangman School are once again selling magazines this fall. Magazines may be purchased from any Pangman School student during October 2010  or visit www.qsp.ca to order online.
