2022-2023 PAC Executive Recruitment 

We’re currently looking for parent volunteers to join the PAC Executive for the 2022-23 school year.  The immediate need is for a new PAC Chair or Co-chair.  While we’ve been under COVID restrictions, the time commitment has been 2-3 hours per month.  Under normal circumstances, the time commitment is closer to 5 hours per month.  We’ve been actively recruiting during our monthly PAC meetings since September 2020, unfortunately with no success.  If no one is able to step up to take on this role before the end of this school year, the PAC won’t be able to continue in its current capacity for the 2022-23 school year. If you are interested or would like to learn more, please contact joanne@getfreshpr.com.

Walk-a-thon
​

Livingstone’s Annual Walk-a-thon will take place on Friday, May 27.  Pledge forms/Information will go home with students the week of May 9th. Prizes will be announced May 30th.  On April 22nd we’ll review current COVID restrictions and determine whether this will be an in-person event at Memorial Park or a virtual event.

Soiree Update

In light of Omicron and the continued uncertainty around Covid, the committee has moved Soiree to May 14, 2022. If anyone would like a refund as they cannot make that date, please let me know. Otherwise, tickets purchased for January 29 will be honoured. We are looking forward to hosting everyone in May 2022!

This is likely the last PAC newsletter for 2021!  Please see announcements below, including how to buy your Livingstone Winter Soiree tickets.  On behalf of the David Livingstone PAC we wish you a wonderful, festive and healthy holiday season.

Our PAC meeting for December has been cancelled.  We look forward to seeing everyone in January.  As usual if you have any questions for the PAC please contact us at livingstonepac@gmail.com.

Livingstone Winter Soiree

The Livingstone Winter Soiree committee is thrilled to announce 200 tickets are now on sale!  Tickets are selling fast with over 25% tickets sold already.

More information on our January 29, 2022 event and other ways to get involved, such as sponsorship can be found here.  Just one slight revision, unfortunately there is no dancing by provincial health order and proof of vaccination will be required at the door! 

Tickets can be purchased at here - the ticket button says “donate”.  Please do not hesitate to reach out with questions, donations of auction items, or problems to julia.hibbard@gmail.com.

Join us for what will be an amazing time to start reconnecting with our school community, especially those of you who have joined our school during COVID. This night is always a blast and we expect 2022 to deliver big.

Purdy’s Fundraiser

Just a reminder that if you ordered chocolates from the Purdy’s Chocolate Fundraiser, they will be sent home with students on December 14th.  Enjoy!  Please contact Reiko at anderson.reiko@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Teacher’s Appreciation Lunch

The PAC has organized a holiday teacher’s appreciation lunch which will take place on Thursday Dec 16th.  Our teachers have been absolutely amazing this year, and this is just a little token of our gratitude.

Purdy’s Fundraiser

Now that Halloween is out of the way, it’s time to think of … more chocolate!  The Livingstone PAC is doing a winter holiday Purdy’s Chocolate Fundraiser!  We have set a goal of raising $3,000 to pay for virtual performances in the new year.  This means $12,000 in sales.  If we meet our goal, the PAC will have a hot chocolate day at the school for all the kids!

Here’s the link:  https://fundraising.purdys.com/1386247-88219

When you create your online account, please use your child’s name and division number so that we know which student to deliver them to.  Example:
·        First name = Harry
·        Last name = Potter (Div. 2)

Important dates:
·        Nov. 12 – website opens for orders
·        Nov. 29 – website closes for orders
·        Dec. 14 – chocolates will be sent home with students
Thanks for your support!

FAQs:
How does this work?  Go to the link, buy some chocolates, 25% of the proceeds get donated to the David Livingstone PAC.  Giant boxes of chocolates will be delivered to the school and volunteers will pack up the individual orders.
How do I get my chocolates?  We will be delivering the chocolates to classes on Dec. 14.  If you have multiple children, you may want to have them delivered to the one that is least likely to forget them at school.
Can friends and family buy chocolates too?  Of course!  Just send them the link.  You will need to: (1) let them know the name/division of the student that the chocolates need to be delivered to OR place the order for them.  (2) get the chocolates from the school on Dec. 14, (3) deliver them to your friends/family.  The PAC will pack up the chocolates with the rest of your order and deliver them to the David Livingstone student.
Do we need any volunteers?  Yes!  We will be packing up and delivering the chocolates on Dec. 14 and will need some help to do that.  Please contact Reiko anderson.reiko@gmail.com if you’re interested.

We are looking for parent class representatives for each division to share information with parents throughout the year.  The role requires compiling a parent email list for the class, forwarding a couple of emails a month to the list and organizing group gifts for holidays and end of year (if you choose). If you are interested, please sign-up here next week.  The list will be updated shortly with divisions and teachers.
