On the agenda will be:
1. Principal's Update
2. Overview of Parent Council Roles and Committees
3. Election of Parent Council Members and sign up for various committees
- It looks like we will need committee leads for both the Fundraising activities and communications. The role would be to reach out to the various sub-committees to ensure everything is on track, resolve issues (usually around event timing) etc. and to report back at council meetings on the different activities underway.
- If you want to be a committee lead this does not mean that you are required to organize all the activities/outreach etc. There should be sub-committees with additional volunteers.
- Speaking of fundraising - we need someone to take on the role of leading the Fun Fair this year. It's a lot of work and a lot of fun. There is a lot of knowledge that can be transferred regarding what's worked and what hasn't worked in the past in case you are thinking of taking this on.
- If you are interested in volunteering for an activity related to fundraising, outreach, enrichment, communications etc. and can't make it to the meeting, just let us know and your name will be added to the list.
