Gibbons School Parent Association Council ( PAC ) is made up of elected parent volunteers that meet once a month and work together to coordinate events and programs that effectively support and enhance the educational experience of our student population. The mandate of the group is to raise funds and allocate these monies in such a way as to benefit the school as a whole. Our PAC members promote opportunities via various fundraisers that help offset the cost to the school in providing enhanced educational opportunities such as school wide activities, school events, guest speakers, performers and adding supplemental resources that benefit our children. The PAC also runs, coordinates and operates the Hot Lunch and Nutrition Program.
Council meetings are held monthly ( first Monday of the month as the school calendar allows ), immediately following the School Council Meetings and are open to everyone. We hope to see you there!
