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): January Vandale


Winter Holiday Charitable 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 Holiday Charitable Sale (Main): TBD

  • Santa Sale Coordinator (Annex): Rachel Hill


Family Year-End Party

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!

  • Family Year-end Party Coordinators: Trish Picker, Caroline Damnon

In order to show our teachers how much we appreciate them, parent volunteers host a PAC lunch for them each spring. This event is in March for the Main School teachers and in June for the Annex teachers.
