My name is Christine Campbell and I am the new PAC president for this year. I am looking forward to try to carry on the tradition that our past PAC has upheld for so many years. Our new executive PAC members are; President: Christine Campbell Vice President: Rebecca Budrow Secretary: Lynette Patten Treasurer: Kim Gill DPAC: Brian Martens Hot Lunch Coordinators: Janine Chow and Paula Smith Fundraising Coordinator: Christy Martin Every parent at GGE is a member of the PAC and I invite everyone to come to our meetings. It is at these meetings that we discuss fundraisers and events being held at GGE. The PAC meets the second Wednesday of every month at 6:30pm in the library. We try to keep the meetings brief and we supply free childcare. It is at these meetings that we discuss fundraisers and events being held at GGE. Our new Principal, Ms Dawson, will be making a presentation at each meeting keeping us updated with everything going on at our school with our students and staff. The main purpose of the PAC is to raise funds that can be put right back into the school. Money fundraised by the PAC has been used to build the playground, buy books, Ipads, computers, and supplies. All of the money raised at GGE goes right back into our school. Our goal as a PAC, is to make Gordon Greenwood Elementary School, the best it can be. We have an amazing staff and terrific students at GGE. Help us support them by taking part and helping out at our school fundraisers. If you cannot attend our meetings, we are always looking for help at our fundraising events and hot lunch programs.

As an executive position, this position must be filled or we can not operate as a PAC. This is a great opportunity for anyone interested, to work with her to learn the ropes. I would like to thank the outgoing PAC members for all of their hard work and continued guidance.
