Wednesday October 26th: Pumpkin Carving & PAC Meeting, 6pm-8pm, Lunchroom
Students: please come carve a pumpkin, and keep it on display at the school as part of the upcoming Halloween parade the following Monday! PAC is selling really big beautiful pumpkins complete with a tea light, for $3. We will have volunteer additional grade 6/7 students and babysitters on hand to help the younger kids with their carving. Parents too of course! We will have extra pumpkin cutting kits on hand to share. We will have some snacks and beverages for the students on hand.
PAC MEETING 6pm-8pm, Lunchroom
Our October meetings always includes the PAC Executive annual elections. Each position goes up for election each year. The positions are as follows: PAC CHAIR, VICE CHAIR INTERNAL, VICE CHAIR EXTERNAL, CO-TREASURER, CO-TREASURER, CO-SECRETARY, CO-SECRETARY.
While many Executive members are interested in coming back again for another great year, the positions are always made open and available to anyone who is interested. Note: both the secretary positions have been vacant for quite a while and a few of us have split up those duties among ourselves. Please note that these Secretary roles include a lot more than merely taking minutes at PAC Meetings and it would be great to have these roles filled as it would take a ton of work off some of our plates! And a lot of it is super fun!!
If you are interested in volunteering for a PAC Executive position please submit your name and position sought, or if you would like to know more about any of the positions and what they entail, please email marina@freshstrategy.com or hudsonpac@gmail.com and we will refer you to the appropriate Exec representative to give you all the information you need!
Last but not least: every parent at the school is part of PAC. We are all PAC members! Everyone has a vote. Please join us at the meetings and vote on many important topics, including the PAC Executive Elections! See you on October 26th!
