The PAC will continue fundraising for a new playground structure into the 2023/2024 school year with planned fundraisers, including Purdy's Chocolates and Bottle Drives. In addition, the PAC will host multiple events throughout the year, including Fun Food Days, Senior's Tea, the Halloween and Valentine’s Day Dances, Family Games Nights, and the Fun Fair.
Indigenous Garden Cleanup
We’re gathering together on Saturday, April 13th, from 10 am to 2 pm to help give our school’s Indigenous Garden a little extra love. We’re cleaning up, clearing out some invasive species and helping to give this garden the love it needs so our school can enjoy everything it offers.
Board Game Night
Board Game Night!
Join the View Royal PAC and Interactive Board Game Cafe for a fun family evening. The Board Game Cafe is bringing various unique and modern family board games to our school and the best part? They will help your family learn the game!
Entry to this event is by donation. All food (pizza, drinks, chips & candy) is available for pre-order on Hot Lunches (code VRES). To keep the lines moving quickly, please order food for the entire family under your oldest child’s name. Deadline to order is April 8th at 8pm.
The PAC strives to plan inclusive family events. Families needing support can confidentially contact the PAC at vrpac.sd61@gmail.com (funds are available) or Principal Jen Fahr at jfahr@sd61.bc.ca.
Find a game you love?
No problem. The Interactive Board Game Cafe will have games available for purchase, with 5% of all sales going back to support our school.
Art Cards
Earlier this year our students created wonderful artwork as part of our school Art Card fundraiser. Their masterpieces have been put on sample cards and go home in backpacks on April 8. Ordering instructions are on the inside of the card.
It's an easy three step process to order cards, plus other fun options including notebooks, puzzles and suncatchers.
The order deadline is Wednesday, April 24th, and we hope to have orders for pick up in mid-May. More details on order pick-ups will come soon.
Thank you for supporting this fundraiser!
