Welcome from PAC - August 2012

Dear Incoming Parents,

2012 will be a pivotal year for your grade 8-er: a milestone, a turning point and a coming of age. We, the Sullivan PAC have been there and we have so much to share with you to help you and your child transition into high school. Our school offers so much to the 1200+ students who attend and we're always learning about how we could help support, motivate and inspire our kids; how we could assist in their learning, and assist our teachers, how we could combine our efforts to ensure these years are safe, educational, and fun for the children. It goes by way too fast and being an integral part of that journey is probably one of the most rewarding experiences you'll ever have as a parent. We are looking forward to meeting you and assure you that you'll find value in attending one, some or all of our meetings. We'll have principal's reports that provide us with a snapshot of what's happening at our school and in our school district. We'll invite our teachers to enlighten us on their programs and share the successes and challenges so we can better support our kids. We'll have fun meeting each other and we'll feel better knowing what a great group of parents we are as our kids befriend each other. We'll assess the teacher's wish-list for funding and determine as a group how the limited budget should be spent. We'll share ideas on how we, the parents, wish to run these meetings so that they are meaningful to us. The first meeting is scheduled for SEPT 24th at 7pm in the school library. I promise we will always start and end on time- every time!

Bring your ideas- we could use them! We send out reminders for meetings via email and try to keep parents informed as much as possible- please let us know if you'd like to be added to our email list by sending us a note at lynem@shaw.ca. You can trust that any information sent will be relevant to your child's education.

Lyne Moussa
PAC President
