Parent Council
September 5, 2024
Who we are:
The École Laura Secord School Parent Advisory Council meets once a month to build and strengthen our relationships with the staff and the community, to find out what is going on at the school, contribute to discussions affecting our families and community, and voice any concerns. Besides meeting monthly, the PAC Executive also organizes volunteers for various events throughout the school year (when permitted), and organizes and runs many amazing fundraisers which in turn allow us to give back to our school and community to make Laura Secord a wonderful place to learn and grow.
Once part of the Laura Secord Family, we invite all parents and guardians to come and take part in the conversation as much as you are comfortable with to make Laura Secord the very best it can be. All are welcome and encouraged to attend PAC meetings. Follow the link to view the PAC Constitution.
Please forward any questions or concerns to LauraSecordPAC@gmail.com

What we do:
Fun Food
ELSS
PAC is excited to offer pizza lunch for all students monthly. Proceeds from Fun Food go to support the Teachers' Wish List, land based learning initiatives and the PAC families fund.
Holiday Fundraiser
École Laura Secord School’s annual Holiday Fundraiser partners with our beloved local Wolseley businesses to raise money for our school. Funds raised through this fundraiser will go towards the purchase of items for the school, the teachers and their classrooms.
Share the Love Potluck
It has been a longstanding tradition at École Laura Secord School for the PAC to host a potluck dinner the night of Tri-Conferences in November to show our support and gratitude to the wonderful staff at our school.
Our teachers, support staff, and our administration have been working tirelessly to ensure our kids are safe, happy, and engaged, and our families routinely come together to ensure they continue to feel some love and support!
