Email [email protected] Nitty Gritty Details: Every year, Tupper Parent Advisory Council (PAC) receives funding from the Province in the form of a “gaming grant” http://bit.ly/2km9Yft to support activities and items identified as “outside of the necessary curriculum.” The PAC invites teachers to apply for this funding by clearly identifying how it will enhance the student learning experience. Examples are field trips, lab equipment, sporting attire, and much more. The PAC then votes on how to distribute the funds. This process happened in October. We now want to raise funds to give the teachers and staff more extracurricular opportunities. Instead of ongoing fundraising throughout the year, we would like to put our limited time and energy into planning events that support and build this ROARSy community. But we can't do it alone. Any size donation is welcome, but if you’re not sure how much to give, we suggest somewhere in the vicinity of $25-75, or the equivalent value in-kind. If we could get 200 donations of that size, we would be almost completely funded for the year, which would be an amazing holiday gift for our school. Several of the requests will support our school for years, even decades to come. The impact of your donation is far-reaching, touching hundreds of students far into their future. How to HelpThere are 2 ways you can help: 1. Donate money here. No chequebook required. If you wish to write a cheque, please bring it to the Tupper office in an envelope labelled “PAC Direct Drive” and they will make sure it gets to us. 2. Donate “stuff” - many of the teacher asks are for things like food, cameras, or other services or physical items. Maybe you are a business owner or know one who could use an end-of-year tax write-off. If so, this would be a great option for you. All of the unmet requests can be found here http://tinyurl.com/tupper...Simply add your details to commit and we'll follow up with you soon. About the OrganizersThe primary role of the PAC is to “advise the board, principal and staff of the school respecting any matter relating to the school.” We also organize community and school events, and raise funds to support educational enrichment opportunities.
