As of Tuesday, April 19, your student will have brought home walkathon pledge packages. This is the next big PAC Fundraiser and the first one of it's kind at Livingstone. The day of the walkathon is Thursday, April 28. Students will be gathering pledges for each lap they complete. For example, if a child gets a pledge of $1/lap and they do 20 laps, then they would collect $20 from the pledger. Pretty simple! The kids will be motivated by thousands of dollars in prizes and other support and encouragement. We’re looking for one parent for each division to help out on the day of the walkathon from 12:45 - 2:30 p.m. Volunteers will help with marking laps, keeping kids on track, helping with teacher support, if needed. If you’re able to help, please sign-up here. If your division is already full or you’re available to help out at an alternate time, please list under ‘Other’. If you have any questions, please email [email protected].

The VSB proposed budget is out. As parents of students in the Vancouver school district, we are in the midst of a major funding shortfall for programs and staff that work directly with our kids. We are encouraging all Livingstone parents to investigate the proposed VSB budget for next year and consider what affect it will have on your families and take action.
The most important information to know is that now is the time to make your voice heard at the public input meetings. That information can be found here. There are currently 2 meetings, the 12th and the 14th. A third may be added if needed. We will attempt to provide our families with current information here, but we encourage all of you to join facebook groups, sign up for emails, and follow on twitter those advocacy groups and organizations that speak for you. Below you will find links and resources that you might find helpful. Please email us if you have more to add. Please note that as a local PAC, our primary goal is to remain as non-partisan as possible and assist you in getting the information you need to make informed decisions regarding the message you want to send and the action you want to take.
