Message from the pac chair
Happy Spring!
Now that the sun is shining, FUN FAIR preparations are in full swing! Watch for opportunities to volunteer, making this year's event as successful as the last. All PAC positions are voted on yearly, and there will be several open spots next year, so we encourage anyone interested to reach out to us. Lastly, pizza night at Blaze Pizza was so successful that we are doing it again this month! A night off from cooking and dishes... who doesn't like that?

The annual FUN FAIR is Sunnyside's biggest fundraising event of the year and the entire community is invited! The PAC has already placed orders for the rides, games, gaming trucks, food trucks, treats, music, and tables, but we still need your help. This enormous event requires hundreds of volunteers to help it run smoothly. Save the date and wait for opportunities to help out for an hour or two!
Every year in June, we hold an annual general meeting (AGM), where a new PAC is voted in for the following year. To learn more about the roles and responsibilities of members of the PAC executive, contact us at info@sunnysidepac.ca or read all about the roles in our Constitution and Bylaws. This year's AGM will be on Tuesday, June 11 at 6pm, in the school library.
Mention Sunnyside while shopping at Cobs bread, and 5% of the purchase value will be donated to our school. Applicable to 2 South Surrey locations:
The PAC has an Express account at the Return-It Depot. Simply put all your refundable containers in a clear, plastic bag and drop it off at any Express Return-It. Our account/phone # is 888-888-8888. All funds will benefit Sunnyside Elementary.
A big thank you to Woo Korean BBQ in South Surrey for donating all their refundable bottles to Sunnyside, through the Express Return It Depot.
Our goal is to keep our children safe, but we need adult volunteers to keep the program running. Consider giving 20 minutes of your time to help keep traffic flowing smoothly.

Date: May 7, 2019
