As parents/guardians of children at
Oppenheimer, we are all members of the Parent Advisory Council (PAC) and your
involvement in the school directly contributes to the richness of the programs
we deliver to support the school.
Our PAC activities can be categorized into the following general areas.
Our PAC activities can be categorized into the following general areas.
Socials & Events
These are PAC led events that aim to bring
together the school community in the spirit of sharing, embracing and
appreciation. Such events include
Back-to-school coffee and donuts, Movie Nights, Potlucks, Teacher’s
Appreciation luncheon, and of course our Spring Fair.
Hot Lunch & Nutrition
Oppenheimer Pizza & Subway Days have been a welcomed tradition at the school. Recently we added Sushi to our line up. Our tireless parent coordinators and volunteers bring tasty lunches to the students and staff on designated days.
Kids love the taste, and parents appreciate the convenience and value. |
Oppenheimer is also part of the Fruit, Veggie + Milk for school program offered by the Province. Students are introduced to fresh fruits and veggies.
More recently milk and an alternate soy beverage have been added to the program to encourage the in-take of calcium and vitamin D which are crucial in the growing phases of our school-aged children. To the extend possible all items served are grown and produced right here in BC. |
Yearbook
To capture all the memories of the school year,
PAC produces a 200+page yearbook that allows the students to relive treasured
moments of each school year. A cover art
contest in the spring will challenge student’s artistic talents. Selected cover
arts are proudly featured as the front and back covers of our yearbook. The yearbook is compiled and produced completely
by a committee of dedicated and talented parents. The books are available for
purchase near the end of the school year.

Fundraising & Enhance Resources
In order to bring the school all the
wonderful activities that we want for our children, we have to raise
funds. Direct Drive, Clothing Drive and Shop-Funds are
activities directly aimed at gathering much needed funds. In addition, proceeds from our Hot lunch,
yearbook sales, concession sales and Spring Fair also contribute significantly
towards our fundraising efforts.
Over the recent years PAC has supported the school in many ways by enhancing resources and enriching programs. We purchased SmartBoards for each classroom, a new sound system for the gym, an iPad lab on carts. We subsidized programs such as Gymsense, Dance, Skating, Project Chef, field trips, performances, and graduation activities.
Because we are 100% volunteers, every penny we raise goes into directly funding school activities and resources for our children.
