Dear parents and guardians,

Next Friday (December 7^th) is Healthy Snack Day and Movie night.

Healthy Snack: We welcome donations from ALL CLASSES so as to have a greater variety of snack options for the kids. Please check the linked notice (Healthy Snack Notice) for details.  Donations can be dropped off at the front desk by 9AM on Friday, December 7th. Please ensure all snacks are labelled nut-free.

Movie Night: With December upon us we thought we’d get into the holiday spirit and welcome you to join us for a screening of Elf.  We will have a concession stand open with hot dogs, popcorn, drinks and treats.  The full list is on the linked pre-order form (Movie Night Dec 7 2018), we encourage you to pre-order tickets and food to skip the lineup.  You can also order via school cash online.  Please note that this movie is rated PG but Common Sense Media has listed it as suitable for ages 7+ (https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/elf) We look forward to seeing you there!

Thank you for your continuing support,

This Thursday we have a PAC meeting at 7pm in the library. We look forward to seeing you there.

The agenda for the meeting is as below;

Burnaby Parks Program update – Mikaela Radford

Chair’s report – Muniz Virani
CPF update – Rachelle Trent
Budget presentation and vote – General
Principal’s report – Kurt Gurney
Open question period.

Dear Brantford families,

Our goal as the PAC continues to be enhancing the school experience for all students and families, building a strong school community, and supporting the success of all learners. 

In recent years we’ve organized a variety of community events including welcome-back barbecues, multicultural potlucks, movie nights and fun fairs.  We have also supported many school-organized activities.  We are excited to continue with these events; if you have any new ideas for our team, please share them with us!  Our e-mail address is: fundraising@brantfordpac.com, or you can find a PAC member at school!

On the educational side of things, we are pleased that we have been able to help the Brantford staff provide new and engaging activities for their classes.  PAC supports a wide range of classroom needs including fieldtrips, classroom supplies (from posters to projectors), physical education (Zumba, tennis, dance, etc.), ADST, and special guests (Saleema Noon, theatre groups, and more).

This year, in order to simplify the fundraising process, we are asking families to make a single donation of $25 per child.  This will allow us to restrict our fundraising to practical events (healthy snack, hot lunch, concessions) and to community events (like our annual Fun Fair).  We hope that you will find this one-time request to be more manageable than a series of smaller fundraisers.

Please see this donation form (Fundraising-Donation-letter-2018-FINAL) for specific information regarding this initiative and for details on submitting your donation.

Thank you for your continuing support,

Muniz Virani
