Help support our school and shop local!

To support the PAC this fall you can buy delicious made-from-scratch desserts from Bittersweet Kitchen for your Thanksgiving feast – just thaw and bake. Whether you’re staying at home or visiting with your safe six, these are sure to be a hit. Tell your friends and family – they can buy too! All profit from the sales goes to the PAC

Orders close at midnight on September 30. Purchases can be picked up at the Bittersweet Kitchen door at 4384 Fraser Street between 3-5 on October 8. No late pick ups please. If you can, wear a mask. If you cannot make it at that time, please ask a friend to get it for you.

Purchase your pie and strudel HERE.

A warm welcome to all our new families and a warm welcome back to everyone else. Our first PAC meeting of the year will take place Wednesday, September 30 at 6pm via Zoom. Please see the agenda below and watch your email for the Zoom information.

Of note is the election of a new executive. The executive provides leadership and manages affairs of the McBride PAC and its activities, including fundraising. Members of the executive represent and are responsible to the entire parent body that makes up the PAC. Positions include:

·      Chair
·      Secretary
·      Treasurer
·      Intermediate Rep
·      Primary Rep

If you are interested in being on the executive, please attend. All parents are members of the PAC and can attend any meeting and vote regardless of whether they are on the executive. We hope to see you there!
