Each year the PAC has made enough sales to earn 20% of the profits from
the annual book fair. This income is used to purchase books for the school library and classrooms for the benefit of our children. If our fair can bring in
$1600 we will earn a 50% profit on all sales. This is the goal of the PAC this year,
we hope everyone can help make this happen.
Atlin play group

0 to 6 together for organized activities and social playtime. The program will start on

Autumn

Fall is starting
The leaves are falling
Summer is over
Grasshoppers are calling
The colors are turning
Autumn
Red and brown
By Matthew Wesley
It looks pretty colourful
The leaves are falling today.
All around
Tomorrow the trees will have no leaves.
Trees are dancing
When the trees are bare that means see you
next year Fall
Leaves are whirling
And hello, Winter.
Fireweed will do
All the twirling
Falling Leaves
BY : Robyn McNeil
When all the leaves are gone
Fall is done
Leaves are falling off the trees.
Goodbye fall
The leaves are falling onto me.
Winter’s begun
When they fall it looks as if they are putting on a show.
They twirl and swirl so gently.
