Sutherland Secondary School Network
A Message from Sutherland Secondary PAC Nov 09
Government funding cutbacks have left the school with greater needs, and PAC with fewer resources to help. School and District PACs across BC are advocating for funding improvements, but schools and students have immediate needs that are not being met.
Each year the school makes a wish list of important projects that are not covered by School Board funding, and asks PAC to pay for them. Unfortunately, many requests went unfulfilled this year, as the PAC received only one-half of the provincial funding provided in past years. Unless funding is found soon, some of the intended student activities will not happen this year.
The Sutherland PAC has therefore formed a Fundraising Committee to help make up the shortfall caused by government funding cutbacks to preserve the many quality programs offered at Sutherland. The Fundraising Committee will identify and develop new sources of funding and provide support to school groups that fundraise, with the goal of maximizing the efficiency of each campaign and minimizing the burden on parents.
With this in mind PAC has just launched a variety of fundraisers, any of which would make a great gift for family and friends. We ask that you consider them as you make your holiday gift giving plans, since a percentage of each purchase (up to 50%) will benefit Sutherland's educational programs, either through PAC or a specific school-based campaign. It's a WIN-WIN-WIN for sure! Your loved ones get great gifts, there's no extra cost to you, and the school gets paid cash!
CHECK OUT YOUR CURRENT OPTIONS HERE!
Please also consider making a donation to support the school's underfunded programs and activities. Tax receipts will be issued for all donations over $25. Contact the Fundraising Committee for more information.
We hope that each Sutherland parent will make a connection with PAC in one way or another:
- Get on the PAC email distribution list to receive important information for parents
- Attend PAC meetings held the first Monday of each month (excluding December & June)
- Join the Fundraising Committee! Regardless of your time or talents, your help will make a real difference!
