Thank you to everyone who participated in our Growing Smiles plant fundraiser. Together we raised over $500 for school programs and resources. 

Plants will be delivered to the school on Tuesday, May 25th. Unfortunately the delivery window is very large. PAC volunteers will be sorting the orders as soon as they arrive and are hopeful they will be ready for pick up after school. Please watch for an email on Tuesday to confirm this. We are happy to make alternative arrangements if Tuesday is no longer convenient for you. Please email the PAC directly at mcbrideelementary@gmail.com.

The McBride PAC has partnered with Growing Smiles Fundraising for our spring fundraiser. Choose from a variety of plant options – hanging baskets, 10-pack petunias, outdoor patio planters and more. There is something for every gardner and every type of garden – with partial proceeds supporting the students of McBride.

We have also noticed that inventory is being replenished often. If there is something you are interested in but it was listed as sold out please check back at a later date as it may be available again. 

Please visit https://sirrichard.growingsmilesfundraising.com/home to place your order by May 11th.  Orders will be available on Tuesday, May 25th. The PAC will be in touch to organize delivery or pick up. 

PAC fundraisers like this one support a variety of school-based activities throughout the year as well as additional funding for classroom supplies and enrichment. We can not do this without you.

Thank you for your continued support. 

Sir Richard McBride Elementary is participating in the City of Vancouver’s School Active Travel Planning program to encourage and promote walking and cycling to school. The program takes place over two years and includes several types of projects to address barriers to active travel:

• Gathering information from students and families about their travel choices
• Creating a school travel action plan
• Upgrading transportation infrastructure near the school
• Promoting active travel education and awareness

Every family’s feedback is important to the success of the program. Please take a few minutes and share information about how your child/children get to and from school. You can also share information about areas around the school that you believe need specific attention such as crosswalks, parking zones, and more. The information collected will help to create a school travel plan that considers the needs of the school’s students and families.
