Hello Savory,
Please read the following message from our PAC:
Welcome to the Savory Elementary PAC!
The PAC, otherwise known as the Parents Advisory Council, is a group of parents and guardians who meet on a monthly basis to discuss and plan activities, events, and fundraisers for Savory Elementary. The PAC works closely with school administrators and teachers to organize events and activities that will enrich the lives of students at Savory and our community. All parents and guardians of Savory Elementary are encouraged and welcome to join the PAC and attend our monthly meetings. PAC meetings are an excellent way to keep informed on what is going on within Savory and meet / connect with other parents and caregivers. The meetings are generally held on the second Wednesday of each month. The meetings run from 6:00 pm to approximately 7:30 pm at the school. Our first meeting is September 10.
Members of the PAC are typically involved in the following activities:
● Fundraising for school equipment, field trips and cultural events
● Planning special events for family fun
● Organizing food for fun (hot lunch days)
● Liaising with Principal and Vice Principal about daily happenings
● Enhancing teacher / parent communications whenever possible
● Many more opportunities as needed
For more information about the PAC or to get involved, please contact the PAC Executive via email at pacsavory@gmail.com. We also have a Facebook page, Savory Elementary PAC.
We currently have two vacant PAC executive positions, Secretary and SPEAC representative.
