Thanks for all your support,

Your McBride PAC

Hello Everyone,

My name is Newton Hoang, and along with Sherry Klassen, we would like to introduce ourselves as your McBride PAC Co-Chairs. Along with a fantastic PAC executive team, we hope to provide a space to engage and better understand your thoughts on how best we can support our school community this year.

Since being elected to our positions in September, we have tried our best as a team to brainstorm ideas on how best we can be of service. We reviewed past and present events/initiatives, spoke to the staff, and examined what other PACs are doing. 

While our observation yielded a wealth of information, we needed to engage with all of you to complete our task. YOUR thoughts, suggestions, and feedback will significantly inform our plans for this year and years to come. 

We have created a list of past, present, and potential events/initiatives on which we would like your feedback and any ideas on what you believe would enhance the school experience. 

COMPLETE THE SURVEY

Please click this link to complete a short five minute survey to capture your insights. 

Thank you for your time, and we look forward to engaging with all of you and your families. 

Welcome back!

Please join us via Zoom on Wednesday, September 28th at 6:00pm for our first McBride Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) meeting of the new school year. Learn more about PAC initiatives, school activities and hear the Principal’s update. Please watch your email for the Zoom link, the agenda and a copy of the May 2022 meeting minutes.

This meeting will include the election of a new executive for the 2022/23 school year. The executive provides leadership and manages affairs of the McBride PAC and its activities. Positions include:

• Co-Chairs
