Year-End Message from PAC Executive

6/27/2020

0 Comments

 
Hello / Bonjour GJ Families! 

Another school year is complete! And what a wild ride it was for us all. 

First and foremost, the PAC Executive would like to thank all of the parents who dedicated their time and expertise to support the events, fundraisers, and initiatives this year. Without you it would not be possible for us to provide the support that our kids need. Thank you! 

And, of course, a GIGANTIC thank you to the teachers and staff at the school. You were so nimble and open-minded through this unusual experience that we all shared. Thank you for showing up for our kids. Thank you for working hard to educate them and love them. 

THANK YOU BANNER UPDATE 

We have received several directed donations from PAC members to cover the cost of the thank you banner that was purchased and hung outside the entrance to the school. Thank you so much for your generosity! The full cost of the banner has now been covered through donations. 

MONK’S SCHOOL SUPPLY FUNDRAISER 

Reminder that you have until JULY 19 to complete your order for school supplies. This is a really great fundraiser for our community and a convenient way to get your supplies for September! 
Online - 
  1. Visit bts.monk.ca and enter your PAC Code: 2DB62E on the SHOP page 
  2. Add your child’s kit (and optional items, if desired) to your cart
  3. During checkout, pay with Visa or MasterCard and choose free school delivery (scheduled for September) or free in-store pickup
Any questions? Contact Member-At-Large Leslie | georgejaypacmember@gmail.com

PLANNING FOR NEXT YEAR

The PAC Executive has been frequently meeting over Zoom since mid-May to ensure that we are well prepared to have a great 2020-21 school year. Some things we have been discussing and preparing to bring to our first General PAC Meeting are: 
  • 2020-21 Budget (to be ratified)
  • 2020-21 Event Dates 
  • Fundraising plans, including alternative ways for us to fundraise if we are still unable to gather more than 50 people at a time at the school 
  • Targeted items / programs that we can support through grants and fundraising based on feedback from teachers and parents
  • Welcome Back BBQ planning 
Our first meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 16, 6:30pm (Location TBD)
At any time you are welcome to suggest items to be added to general meeting agendas. This upcoming year will likely require creative thinking as business is definitely not as usual. We’d love to hear from you. To suggest agenda items, please contact our Secretary, Roberta | georgejaysec@gmail.com

WELCOME BACK BBQ PLANNING

We are currently developing a Plan A, B, and C for our September Welcome Back BBQ, depending on how many people can safely assemble on school grounds, with more details to follow as we get closer to September. If you are interested in joining an Organizing Committee to support planning, please be in touch!

​Please contact our President, Andrea | georgejaypacpresident@gmail.com

GJ SUPPLY SWAP FOR TEACHERS 

Reminder of the classroom supply swap spreadsheet. If you would like to contribute to classrooms, you can see a list of items that teachers have requested for donations.  Cleaning out our closets while stuck at home?  See if any items you plan to give away can be of use at the school.
