Div 1 & 2 are heading to Whitehorse and Dawson City this spring. After studying agriculture and food security issues all year, students will travel north to explore Arctic food security and the impact of climate change as a capstone experience. Students will work with the Tr’ondek Hewch’in First Nations in Dawson City, and Elemental Farm and Poplar Farms in Whitehorse, to see and experience northern agriculture first hand.

We are selling beautiful, locally-grown plants to help raise money for their trip. Please visit our WEBSITE to see what is available and then place your order by Dec. 1st. Plants can be picked up on December 13, 2019, between 3 and 5pm.

This year, spread holiday cheer and support our grade 6 and 7 students on this trip of a lifetime. 

Thank you for your support. We couldn't do it without you!

Students of Div 1 & 2

​The Fall Fund Drive will wrap up Tuesday, November 12th 

We're just over 50% of our goal...so if you're able to donate it would go a long way to help provide opportunities for our kids over the school year.

Funds raised this year will go to support experiences for students in our school - Nearly 45% ($34K) of our PAC budget is currently allocated to provide student experiences. Including arts performances, week-long lessons (like CirKids and Hip Hop), in-class experiential learning ($270/division), supplementing field trip costs ($400/division), books for our library and outdoor learning. Thanks so much in advance for the support.

We'll share the total raised at the November 20th PAC meeting. We'll also reach out to all that contributed to share where funds will be directed.Tax receipts will be issued at time of donation.

The PAC Constitution and Bylaws govern how we do business. Our current bylaws are almost 20 years old and need to be updated. The Executive has been working on updating them over the past year and gave notice at the September meeting that amendments would be voted on at the October 16th meeting. The main changes are clarifying the date for our AGM and budget approval and increasing the amount the Executive can spend without needing approval of the full membership. The AGM and budget approval is proposed to be in May. The spending limit is proposed to increase to $250 from $100.

The amendments are based on constitution and bylaws from Laurier Annex and Edith Cavell Schools as well as samples provided by District PACs. 

The full details can be found on the Meeting Documents Page.
