The PAC plays an important role at Fraser River Middle School.
Through our elected executives from parents and guardians at FRMS, the PAC communicate with the parent community gathering and discussing issues of importance regarding the school to adequately advise those that influence their school.
Without a PAC, students and teachers would miss out on the provincial Gaming Grant, which in past years has helped fund field trips, purchase sports equipment, provide hot dog lunches on Sports Day, and celebrate our Grade 8 students at year-end, just to name a few.
We also raise funds throughout the year to support initiatives that are not covered under the Gaming Grant guidelines.
In addition to PAC meetings, communication may also be done through school newsletters, email and websites.
