TranslateWelcome back to all returning parents and a warm welcome to new parents at Essex. The Essex Parent Council is ready to start planning to make this year a great one – and we need your help!
There are many opportunities for parents to get involved in the Essex community, meet new people and contribute toward enhancing the kids’ experience at school. You could:
- Attend Parent Council meetings – held approximately once a month at around 6:30 pm. Have your voice heard on on-going school issues and plans.
- Join Parent Council – we are looking for help with Fundraising, Communications, Health & Wellness Committee and other roles. New members are needed to share their ideas and enthusiasm.
- Be a Pizza Lunch volunteer – come to the school for an hour a few Fridays to help distribute pizza to the kids.
- Come out and do a volunteer shift at one of our fundraising events like Bingo Night or Spring Fling
The first Parent Council meeting of the year is on Thursday, September 22 at 6:30 – 8:00pm in the library (second floor). Refreshments will be served and all parents are welcome and encouraged to attend. Free childcare is available.
The Parent Council raises funds which support technology upgrades for the school, The Kindergarten outdoor area, Scientists in the Classroom, Lunch Buddies, Lice Checks, Yoga in the classroom, Drama in the classroom, Skating and Gym equipment and many more initiatives which enhance our kids’ experience at Essex.
Come and do your part in making sure our kids have the best year ever!
