Calling All Parents! __________________________________________

You’re Invited to join us for our first General PAC Meeting of the school year on Thursday, September 29^th at 7pm ~ Featuring ~

*** A SPECIAL PRESENTATION BY MRS. BOLES*** Our Principal and her guests will discuss the exciting changes to the new Provincial Curriculum and how you can best prepare for this new learning style to support their child.

__________________________________________________________

“BUT I’M VERY BUSY! WHY SHOULD I ATTEND?”

FREE CHILDCARE + REFRESHMENTS + DOOR PRIZES! We know there are many demands on a parent’s time. So we try to keep things brief while supplying hot coffee and someone to watch the little ones. Just 1-2 hours a month is all it takes!

YOUR VOTE MATTERS Your PAC Executive can run a meeting with just 5 people BUT we want more voices, more opinions and more families to vote on how to spend hard earned fundraising dollars!

HELP DECIDE THE FUTURE Wondering why we spent $2500 on library books, or wishing the school had more Technology? Arts? Music? Attend a meeting and help create the path you want to see your child’s learning take!

BE THE FIRST TO KNOW Wondering what events or classes the school offers? Want to get your calendar organized in advance? PAC meetings are a great place to get the details before they make it out to classrooms!

MAKE FRIENDS Sometimes there is nothing better than getting out of the house for an evening and meeting some new faces you’ve seen around the playground. Grab a nametag and meet some fellow parents!

MAKE A DIFFERENCE Attend a meeting and help the PAC better represent the highly diverse families of Lynn Fripps’ students. Have an idea for a fundraiser or some feedback on how we can improve? We want to hear from you!
