 The third annual East Van Soiree will take place on February 29, 2020 at Heritage Hall on Main Street. This event is jointly held with General Brock Elementary to raise funds for our PACs. Last year's event raised approximately $23,000 for our schools. It's also a great night to spend time with other parents in our community! If you have never attended or are new to the school, the event has a champagne reception, a silent auction (which includes ceramics created by each division at our school), a raffle, a bar, and music by DJ Rocky for dancing. There are 100 tickets allocated to our school. If you purchase before December 31, tickets are $45 and include one drink ticket. As of January 1, tickets are $50 with no drink ticket. Buy your ticket at www.eastvansoiree.weebly.com now! This event has sold out the previous two years and we expect the same this year. We are also always looking for volunteers to help night of, silent auction donations and sponsors - please see the attached posters. If you have any questions please feel free to email [email protected].

 Div 1 & 2 are heading to Whitehorse and Dawson City this spring. After studying agriculture and food security issues all year, students will travel north to explore Arctic food security and the impact of climate change as a capstone experience.

We're just over 50% of our goal...so if you're able to donate it would go a long way to help provide opportunities for our kids over the school year. Funds raised this year will go to support experiences for students in our school - Nearly 45% ($34K) of our PAC budget is currently allocated to provide student experiences. Including arts performances, week-long lessons (like CirKids and Hip Hop), in-class experiential learning ($270/division), supplementing field trip costs ($400/division), books for our library and outdoor learning. Thanks so much in advance for the support. We'll share the total raised at the November 20th PAC meeting. We'll also reach out to all that contributed to share where funds will be directed.Tax receipts will be issued at time of donation.

She'll have about 30 minutes near the beginning of the meeting to talk about topics we're interested in learning more about.
