Parent Advisory Council

Parent Advisory Council - PAC

The Shamrock Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is open to all parents of Shamrock students. As a volunteer-run, non-profit organization, we promote inclusion and respectful collaboration in order to improve the school environment for our Shamrock students and staff. This includes fundraising to enhance the overall student experience with learning opportunities, classroom support, playground enhancements and school improvements. We strive to provide timely communication with our parents and community members.

The Shamrock PAC is always looking for more members. If you want to know more about what is going on at the school and have some time and/or ideas to contribute about how we can shape and benefit the school, we encourage you to attend a meeting or send us an email (shamrockspac@gmail.com).

You can also keep up-to-date on PAC information and activities through our social media accounts on Facebook and Instagram.

Current PAC Fundraisers and Projects

Fun lunches are organized each month to bring a hot lunch option into the school for students and staff. We are always looking for fun lunch volunteers. If you would like to volunteer or want to get involved, please contact us.

Fundraisers

Thank you to everyone who purchased from our Old Dutch fundraiser.

Our November fundraisers include Coal and Canary candles (which can be ordered online in Munchalunch) and FundScrip gift cards (paper orders will be going home soon). Both fundraisers close on November 21, 2024 with pick up of orders in mid-December (exact date TBD).

All money raised through fundraising is used for the benefit of students, staff and community of Shamrock School.
