PAC Corner

Brentwood Park Elementary Parent Advisory Council

We are a dedicated team of volunteers working closely alongside our school’s administration and teachers to enrich the educational experience of our children. Our collaborative efforts span a wide range of activities and initiatives aimed at making school life more enjoyable and providing enhanced educational opportunities.

One of our core responsibilities involves organizing enjoyable events such as the Pumpkin Patch and Holiday Breakfast which helps us connect as a community. Additionally, we take charge of coordinating valuable courses like Red Cross Babysitting and First Aid. These courses not only benefit the children directly but also contribute to a safer and more knowledgeable community. The various fundraisers running throughout the year help raise funds for essentials like classroom supplies, sport equipment, gardening sheds, emergency preparedness supplies and funds for buses or field trips throughout the year.

We manage a Hot Lunch program that serves two important purposes. It is a great fundraiser and offers parents a reprieve from the daily task of preparing lunch. We encourage you to stay connected, get involved, and share your ideas whether you’re a seasoned member of our community or a newcomer, your presence and contributions are highly valued.
