Have you ever wondered just what the PAC does? Well, come to a meeting! Being involved with the PAC does not have to be a huge commitment of time or energy. It does not mean you will have to do a bunch of stuff you do not want to do. It does not need to conflict with your work schedule or intrude on your family time.
It is a great way to know what is going on with your child's school. It is an opportunity to meet other parents and stay in touch with those that you already know but do not get to see very often. Any contribution you can make is fantastic. Not only is it helpful to the other parents on the PAC, but it also benefits all of the students as well as the staff.
One thing you may not know is that we require a certain number of parents on the PAC for our school to have a PAC. Without a PAC, many of the fun things that the students look forward to will not happen. The PAC receives funding that we use to pay for extra things like busing for the kids to the Christmas concert, the school dance and the french toast breakfast. PAC funding is also used for bigger purchases such as playground equipment, the school murals we will hopefully see soon, and the electronic reader board that will, hopefully, also be up soon.
At Ecole Mountainview we are so lucky to have such a great staff as well as the CPF working hard to enrich our children's education. The PAC works towards the "extras" that are specific to our school, projects that benefit our school but are not necessarily curriculum or education based.
The PAC AGM is coming up mid October, Wednesday the 17th. It would be really great for those of us returning from last year (I think there are two of us, not enough to actually have a PAC) to see a big turn out. Honestly, even if you cannot commit to coming to all the meetings, even if you can only come to this one, we would love to see you.
