Programs, events and fundraising

What PAC funds

Funding changes each year based on the membership-approved budget and school priorities.

  • Classroom and specialist-program support
  • Teacher and school wish-list items
  • Literacy, STEM, arts, and student clubs
  • Field-trip transportation and whole-school experiences
  • Emergency-preparedness supplies
  • Community-building events
  • Confidential assistance administered through the school for families facing financial barriers

Partnered events

PAC works with the school and community partners on events that may be led by another organization.

  • Welcome Back Event — the school leads this event; PAC support varies annually.
  • Whole-school Concerts — the school organizes the performance; PAC may help fund it through the annual budget.

Seasonal or under review

  • Purdy’s Chocolates — the next campaign and coordinator need confirmation
  • Tru Earth — the current account, terms, and coordinator need confirmation
