11. PARENT’S CORNER – A WORD FROM 135 SSC
· There was a great turn out at the Parent Information night on Oct 1st, with over 40 parents present. One question posed by many parents was When does training end?
o Training typically ends at 9:15pm, on occasion 9:30pm. However, every training night, one flight (the group of cadets your child is assigned to) is responsible for cleaning up at the end of the night. On these nights, your cadet may stay until 9:45pm. Higher level cadets may finish as late as 10:00pm.
· Do you have any spare time? Would you like to help the SSC?
o The SSC is always looking for new members to join the committee. If you are able to volunteer your time to help with a cadet event or the canteen please reach out to Danielle at 135sscchair@gmail.com.
· Would you like to connect with other parents?
Two parents have created group chats if you like to connect with other parents about events, carpooling, and more. Please see the attached posters in your e-mail containing links to join.
