Dear Chantrell Creek Families,
Thank you for taking a moment to read this very important message from your Parent Advisory Council (PAC).
As we begin wrapping up the current school year, we’re already planning ahead — and that means we urgently need to fill key PAC executive positions for the 2025–2026 school year:
Chair
Vice Chair
Technology Coordinator
Without a Chair, the PAC cannot operate.
This means we lose over $35,000 in grants and funds currently in our account — money that supports critical programs and experiences for our students here at Chantrell Creek. It also means no more:
Hot Lunches
Spirit Wear
Movie & Game Nights
Book Fairs
Symphony Field Trips
Guest Speakers & Young Actors
Math Festival
Fruit & Veggie Program
Music & Library Support
Athletics & Track Support
End-of-Year Carnival
Kindergarten T-Shirts
Sports Day Popsicles
Classroom Funds for Teachers
Grade 7 Graduation Support
Elgin Scholarships for Chantrell Alumni
School Supply Ordering Program
Freezie Fridays
Computer & Laptop Upgrade Support
These initiatives through our PAC only happen because parents like you step up.
We know these roles can sound daunting — but you won’t be doing it alone. Support is available, and the Chair/Vice Chair role can be shared between friends. If you’ve ever thought of getting involved, now is the time.
You can find a copy of our PAC Constitution and Bylaws including a description of each role HERE
Please reach out to us at hello@chantrellcreekpac.ca if you’d like to self-nominate, ask questions, or learn more.
