Annual Pac Events
Here is our lineup of PAC events for a typical school year.
If you would like to volunteer with any of these wonderful events should they happen, please let your chairs know!
Some of the events we have held in previous years include:
WELCOME BACK COFFEE
The Welcome Back Coffee will take place on September 26th from 9:15-10:15 a.m. We invite all parents and caregivers to enjoy a cup of coffee, meet other families and catch up on summer events after your kiddos check into their classrooms.

FAMILY PHOTO NIGHT
Looking for a family photo for your holiday card, to give to grandparents or to hang on your wall? Sign up for this fall fundraiser in the main school gym. A $30 sitting fee gives you a 15-minute family photo session with a professional photographer. Your photos will be uploaded to a gallery and you can choose which photos you would like to keep. The photographer will send you the download link and you can have your own photos printed to your preference.

MOVIE NIGHTS
Movie Night is a fun event for the whole family to enjoy! Movie nights are held at the school in the evening. We will hold two movie nights this year, one with a movie geared toward kids of primary age, the other toward intermediates. The event is sponsored by the PAC and entry is by donation. Dinner can be pre-ordered and pop-corn is sold on site. Bring your own water in a closed container.

SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR
The Scholastic Book Fair is an in-school event that brings the look and feel of a bustling bookstore to our school. Scholastic provides the books, planning tools and display cases for the event which is run by parent volunteers. A percentage of the sales are awarded back to the school in Scholastic Dollars to be used by staff to purchase new books and teaching materials. Volunteers help kids choose books and items, process payment, organize and re-shelve books during the sale.
Scholastic Book Fair Coordinator (Main): Angela Bonilla Gomez (Teacher Librarian)
Scholastic Book Fair Coordinator (Annex): TBD
SANTA/WINTER SALE
This event is a Kerrisdale School favourite. Families donate unwanted treasures that are displayed in our “Kerrisdale Boutique.” Students shop with their classes at this boutique for upcycled holiday gifts for their families. All items are sold for $2 or less, allowing children to buy gifts for their families. All money collected is donated to the Empty Stocking Fund, which assists families in need during the holiday season. This event is in December.
Winter Sale Coordinator (Main): Sarah Warren and Sara Zayed

FAMILY YEAR-END PICNIC
At the end of each school year, this community-building celebration is held at the Main School. Come play games, visit with friends and partake in our ever-popular cake walk!

SCHOOL SIGN
The PAC updates the sign in front of the Main School with important information for families.
