March PAC Update!

Hello Chantrell Creek Families!

Here’s what is happening with the PAC:

1) General PAC Meeting – Wednesday, March 12 @ 2 PM

Join us in the multi-purpose room this coming Wednesday as we plan for upcoming events and next year. We will be meeting after the talent show and would love to hear your ideas and have your support!

Agenda includes:

• Financials

• Book Fair

• Movie Night

• Year-End Carnival

• Exiting PAC Members & New Positions to Fill

2) Final Round of Hot Lunch Orders

3) Hot Lunch Reminder – Ooops!

If your child is missing part of their hot lunch or something doesn’t seem right, please remind them to go to the PAC kitchen right away! We’re happy to help resolve any issues. Most of the time, their lunch is still in the bottom of the insulated bag or was taken by mistake by another student and the situation can be easily resolved right away. We’re here to help!

4) Volunteer Opportunities

Interested in getting involved? Check out the current links below to sign up (with more opening up soon)! We are so grateful for our volunteers—our events and activities wouldn’t be possible without you.

Thank You to Our Terry Fox Volunteers! 

A big thank you to all the volunteers who helped out today for the Terry Fox Run. Your involvement allowed the students to run safely and made a significant impact on our school spirit. 

Technology Fund Donations

You may have seen the new Technology & Playground Upgrade section on the Hot Lunch Ordering site. This year, PAC is asking families for a one-time $100 donation to help cover technology replacements (like classroom laptops and tablets) and future playground updates. If everyone pitches in, there won’t be any more fundraising for these items this year, allowing PAC to focus on fun events and boosting school spirit. Your support and generosity means so much to the students and staff!
