_______________________________________________________________________
Started meeting off with a presentation by Maryanne and members of
the Garry Oak Ecosystems Recovery Team (www. goert.ca) to discuss
why the ivy was taken down from the two main outer walls of the
school. The ivy was ‘invasive’ in nature and was seen as a threat of
choking the Garry Oak ecosystem that thrives in, around and on
Christmas Hill Park, which closely neighbours the school. Artist Joanne
Thomson has kindly offered to create a mural on one of the walls, at a
‘reduced rate’ as the ‘Goert’ is one of her passions.
This presentation was to support a funding request of sorts, although
we were unable to establish a start-up cost from Ms. Thomson. An
approx. $650.00 estimate would be needed from the School Distr. to
‘prep’ the wall. As of this evening, the total approximate cost of the
Mural project would be 4500.00. More info can be found on the
Roger’s Blog. rogersmuralproject.blogspot.ca

wash – Emma C. suggested car vacuums to make more money….

I. President’s Message
Approval of previous PAC meeting minutes: motion to accept – Alison Hoogland,
seconded by Camilla Birtwistle, all in favour.
January bottle drive raised $671.40. Half the proceeds going to Bolivia and 10% going to
United Way. Amount raised at bottle drives continues to drop and The Bottle Depot will
not pick up if the amount drops below $500. The January flyers should have mentioned
that some of the proceeds were going to charity. Future possibilities are pairing up with a
radio station and/or the Saanich News.
We should look into getting a digital sign for the end of the driveway at Rogers Ave.
Monks would like to know if we will be ordering school supplies through them. Alison will
look into whether or not we can combine online ordering with paper orders. Another
company that offers less expensive supplies was suggested by Maryanne.
II. Principal’s Message
Grade 5 transition February 14th – 22nd .
34 children registered for kindergarten for September 2013.

•
The new jerseys are here. They will be kept in a locked box and must be signed out.
They are not to be laundered by parents.
The equipment room is getting messy and the teachers would like to see transparent
totes. The PAC agreed that relabeling the existing totes would be more prudent. Alison
and Kelly volunteered to inventory the equipment and re-label the totes.
The invasive ivy is being removed from the school walls. A mural will be painted to
replace the ivy. An “Idea Grant” is available for funding for up to $2000. Emma Chalifour
volunteered to write the grant proposal with Maryanne.
Funding requests:
III. Treasurer’s Message

Gaming money needs to be spent. There is approximately $12000 to be spent plus the
playground money.
We need a philosophy on how the PAC wishes to spend its money. This will be
discussed at the next PAC meeting.
Bowling for gr 2-3 was approved. Alison Hoogland motioned to approve, Erin
Pearson seconded the motion and all were in favour.
Zumba will be put on hold until more information is received regarding this
