What's a PAC? - a conduit for communication between parents and the school community, and a vehicle that parents can use to organize and get things done, when desired.
The JVH PAC will be holding our Annual General Meeting on May 21 at 6pm in the school Library. Preceded by regular meeting at 5. Hear about our achievements this year. We started some easy-to-run ongoing fundraisers to benefit students.
The PAC needs to have minimum 4 meetings per year, and sometimes they have been held monthly when there is enough participation. If the PAC doesn't have an executive elected at the AGM, then the youth of the community miss out on $4k in free BC Gaming grants which PAC allocates to extracurriculars. A reminder: All JVH parents and staff are members of PAC!
I encourage parents to get involved in their school's PAC. A meeting a month isn't much and it's good to be more informed, and be part of the conversation. Want to see a new playground structure constructed? Form a committee and fundraise!
We will need a new Treasurer this coming year, and we will need a Vice-Chair as well. I have been Chair this past year but will not be a member of the JVH PAC next year. I have had kids in Kaslo's school since 2010! It would be great if some parents of younger kids had capacity to get involved.
JVH School will have a new principal for the 2025-26 school year.
Best wishes, ~ Tyler Dobie
