A Message from your PAC Chair!
Hello Herbert Spencer Families!
We hope that you’ve had a restful summer and a good start to the new school year.
My name is Courtney Daws and I am the new Chair for the Herbert Spencer Parent Advisory Council (PAC). I am also pleased to introduce our Vice-chair, Karyn Audet.
The PAC is excited for the 2024/2025 school year and for the opportunity to continue to support our kids, their teachers and classrooms and our amazing community! We will be sending out a PAC survey this month to solicit feedback and input to help guide our goals and vision for the coming year while building on our existing values of inclusion and diversity.
If you are interested in the work that the PAC does and/or would like to help coordinate or volunteer for our events and fundraisers, you can join us at one of our monthly meetings or drop me a line to find out more about PAC (herbertspencerpacchair@gmail.com).
Our first general meeting of the 2024/2025 school year will be taking place on Wednesday, September 11th at 6:30 pm in the school library.
Our monthly meetings are at 6:30 p.m. in the school library on the following dates:
- Wednesday, September 11th, 2024
- Wednesday, October 2nd, 2024
- Wednesday, November 6th, 2024
- Wednesday, January 8th, 2025
- Wednesday, February 5th, 2025
- Wednesday, April 9th, 2025
- Wednesday, May 7th, 2025
- Wednesday, June 4th, 2025
These meetings are a great opportunity to connect with our Principal and Vice Principal and to find out what is happening at the school and with the district. Every family is a member of the Herbert Spencer PAC, so all are welcome to attend and participate at meetings. We also provide child care, if needed, so if you plan on attending any of our meetings and need childcare, please send me an email about a week before.
And finally, we are currently looking for a family to take over as the new school fish caretakers. Thank you to Gurleen, Bobby, Aleah & Norah for taking this on over the past year! This involves a few hours a month and you will be trained by our current fish caretakers. Please email me (herbertspencerpacchair@gmail.com) for more details or if you are interested!
Thank you.
Respectfully,
—
