Thrifty Foods Smile Card Fundraising Program
Did you know you can raise money for our PAC just by grocery shopping? True! Simply pick up a Thrifty Foods Smile Card from the school office or at PAC events and put money on it before your next grocery shop, and five per cent of the value of your purchases will automatically go toward supporting performing arts activities at our school. It’s that easy!
New PAC logo artwork
You’ll notice our website has a wonderful new header! These beautiful hand-drawn children were created by local wildlife artist and children’s illustrator, Lissa Calvert, who happens to be the mother of our PAC President, Mercedes Calvert. In addition to being used in the header here on our website, these drawings will be used on our letterhead and on other PAC materials such as our new bookmarks.
Lissa beautifully captured the diversity and friendly spirit that we so cherish about Vic West Elementary School. We want to thank Lissa for donating her Time and her Talent to create this unique Treasure!
THANK YOU!
A great BIG Halloween thank you to Save-On-Foods for the donation of 25 beautiful pumpkins on Hallowe’en Day. After the grade five class helped to unload all of the pumpkins, we decorated the gym with them, for the school’s Halloween Howl (an afternoon of fun and games). After school, families who needed a pumpkin were invited to take one home, to carve before embarking on their night of Trick’r’Treating! Thank you to Ted Pigeon (Store Manager) and the staff at Save-On-Foods, for supporting your local community school!
Connecting with our community
The PAC is always exploring new ways to connect with Vic West families and promote a positive image of our school in the community. So when we were invited to be a part of Halloween Fun Fest at the Victoria West Community Centre this past weekend, we jumped on it! Our parent volunteers set up a fishing booth for the kids and handed out treats and bookmarks to all the boys and ghouls (and their parents) who visited our table.
An extra big PAC thanks to:
– Victoria West Community Centre Manager, Kate Longpre, for extending the invitation for our PAC to be a part of this incredible community-building event.
– School Administrative Assistant, Shelley Baird, for designing our very popular school/PAC bookmarks.
– The parent volunteers who supervised our booth and entertained the masses in fabulous Halloween style!
