Our school is enriched by the hard work of the PAC volunteers. The fundraising that they perform provides important resources for all of our classes:

  • Many of the numerous field trips and special classroom programs (such as the Growing Young Farmers gardening program and the Story Studio writing and literacy program) would not have happened this year without the financial support of the PAC.
  • Our arts and sports programs benefit enormously from the PAC’s support. PAC money funded special dance and music performances at school assemblies and purchased over $1000 worth of sports equipment for our students.
  • In addition to their financial support, the PAC plays an important role in building a sense of community at SJD. The special events, such as the Halloween Dance, movie nights, and the Pancake Breakfast, bring families together on our school grounds.
  • The PAC plays an important role as an official voice of the parent community.

Thank-you to all PAC volunteers & families who support the PAC  by attending events & donating money to our fundraisers throughout the school year!
