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 & Sushi Days have been a welcomed tradition at the school. Recently we added Freshii 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. More info on Hot Lunch |
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 has 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. more info on Yearbook
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. In the past, we've purchased SmartBoards for each classroom, a new sound system for the gym, an iPad lab on carts as well as an upgrade to the computer lab to make the computers faster. More recently, because of your generous donations, we were able to purchase a new water fountain for the students, as well as purchase and install a new Primary playground set. We also regularly subsidize 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.
