Proceeds go towards Gr. 7 Year End field trip

During the recent February 2022 Parent Advisory Council Meeting, a motion was passed to support A.R. Lord Elementary to increase IT resources for student learning. A.R. Lord  currently has 48 iPads that are shared amongst classes and an additional 10 iPads will now be purchased through a 50:50 cost share model between the PAC and school. Having dedicated iPads for both upstairs and downstairs classes, will allow for greater access for teachers to incorporate these tools into their curriculum.

PAC monies are raised through the ongoing fundraising efforts with a goal of supporting student education. We thank all for their support and pitching in for our most recent fundraisers:

• ​Neufeld Farms Meats, Treats & Sweets sales (Dec 2021 campaign)
• Mabel's Labels (Ongoing)
• E. Van Tshirt & Shopping Totes (Ongoing)
• Returnable Bottle Campaign (Launching March 2022)
• Manure Sale (Scheduled for April 2nd 2022)
