​PAC Fundraising at David Livingstone

How Fundraising Money is Spent

In consultation with parents, teachers, staff and administration, priority areas are identified for funding. Thanks to the hard work of staff and volunteers, we were able to support many areas over the last few years. Some of the highlights include:
​
  • Direct Teacher and Staff Support
    • ​Each year the PAC provides funds to classroom and non-enrolling instructors to minimize their personal out-of-pocket expenses toward classroom-specific resources, teaching materials, activities and supplies.
  • Technology Upgrades
  • Library / Learning Commons Upgrades
  • Arts, Culture and Physical Education
  • Literacy Enrichment (primary home reading books)
  • Library Book Replenishment
  • STEAM Supplies (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math)
  • Main Hallway Mural Project
  • New Team Jerseys
  • ​School Garden and year long Classroom Gardner program
  • Tupper Wellness Centre support
  • Sports Day - Free Healthy Snacks and Treats for all students
  • ​Saleema Noon Program
  • Safe Teen Program
  • Tupper Scholarship​

Fundraising Plans

Parents are working with staff and school administration to finalize fundraising priorities for the year ahead. Some of the fundraising and community events we have planned are listed below.

  • Fall Fund Drive - We have heard from many parents that they would like a way to receive a tax receipt for donations made to the school. Our Annual Fall Fund Drive provides this option and ensures 100% of the money donated benefits Livingstone students. Our goal for the campaign is to raise $10,000. Donations of $50 and over will be eligible for a tax receipt. More details will be available this fall.
  • Fun Lunch - Our Fun Lunch program has been a wonderful success and with your continued support is expected to raise over $10,000 this year, while making lunch fun.
  • Walk-a-Thon - These popular events are designed to make fundraising fun and easy. Students will be involved and will have a chance to win prizes while helping their school. Look for more information in the spring. In 2016 the event raised over $18,500.
  • Popcorn - This longstanding school tradition typically raises over $1500.
  • Recycling - Thanks to the dedication of volunteers and donations by a number of local businesses, we expect to raise over $3000 from our recycling program this year.
  • East Van Soiree Gala Fundraiser- Scheduled for February 2nd, 2018. Get tickets HERE.
