Hello Journey Families,

This email is to remind families about our Bullying Information Session coming up this month.

Bullying Information Session for Parents – Nov 18^th 6-7:30 pm  (Journey Gymnasium) See attachment

This event is organized in response to parents request for more information and support around cyber bullying and bullying. We encourage parents to put this date on their calendars and please RSVP for the event. The presentation is an opportunity to learn about cyberbullying and safe online practices as well address general bullying issues at Middle Schools.  The event is supported by Safe Schools Together ( https://saferschoolstogether.com/ ), SD62 Safe Schools Team/Administration, Journey Administration, Sooke RCMP and our Journey PAC.  We hope that the information presented will support families with behavior and/or cyber bullying concerns and answer any questions about school procedures and responses to bullying and the disciplinary actions within our code of conduct.

We look forward to seeing you on November 18^th.  Please contact John Mennie if you have any questions regarding the event.

Regards,

John

Hello Friends of Sooke Parks,

We’re getting ready for our 3rd Annual Spooky Pumpkin Walk on Saturday, November 1st at Pineridge Park – see the poster below!

Our events are only possible thanks to amazing volunteers, and we’d love your help this year. If you can lend a hand, please reply to this email and let us know which time(s) you are available.

Here’s what we need:

🎃 Saturday, November 1st

1:00 – 3:00 pm: Pumpkin Drop-Off (2 people)
Welcome visitors at the park entrance and direct them where to place their pumpkins – or help collect them for later setup.

3:00 – 5:00 pm: Pumpkin Placement & Lighting Crew (6+ people)
Decorate the trail and park with pumpkins and get them glowing (with LED tea lights) by 5 pm.

5:00 – 7:30 pm: Welcome Tent (2 – 4 people)
Greet guests, share event info, and help keep the evening running smoothly. Tent and chairs provided.

7:30 – 8:30 pm: Clean-Up Crew (20+ people)
Our most important shift! Once the walk ends at 7:30, we’ll gather all pumpkins to load into the farm truck. With enough hands, clean-up goes quickly.

Thank you so much for helping make this new community tradition a success — we couldn’t do it without you! As always, please share this event with friends and family… and bring us your pumpkins 🎃

Warmly,
Helen and all of us at,
Friends of Sooke Parks Society
