About PJ PAC
The Pauline Johnson Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is a group of parents and caregivers working together to support our school community and make school life even more enjoyable for our students.
Throughout the year, we organize and support fun activities, community events, fundraising initiatives and opportunities for families to connect. From Spirit Days and Popsicle Days to family events and special celebrations, there are many ways to get involved.
Our PAC is powered by parent volunteers, and every contribution makes a difference. Whether you have a little time to volunteer at an event, share an idea, or simply join us for a parent gathering, we’d love to have you involved.
Stay connected, get involved, and help make PJ a great place to learn, grow and belong!
If you have a child at PJ, you’re already a member of the PAC!
We believe every child at PJ deserves a joyful, enriching, and well-rounded school experience for the entirety of their time as a PJ student. Our purpose is to support, encourage, and enhance the quality of education and overall well-being of all students.

What does the PJ PAC do?
Fundraising & Events
PJ PAC oversees a wide range of activities and committees designed to enrich the cultural and educational experience of all PJ students. Ongoing events like PJ Spirit Wear Days, Popsicle Days, and Fun Lunch run throughout the year, while special events include Jour des Crêpes, Santa’s Workshop, and Movie Nights. We also host community events such as the Staff Appreciation Luncheon.
To make these programs possible, we fundraise throughout the year. We aim to keep the fundraising easy, efficient, and rewarding. Many of the programs mentioned above double as fundraisers (ie. Fun Lunch, Popsicle Days, and Movie Nights). Even small actions, like purchasing from Mabel’s Labels can make a big impact.
For more information on our Fundraising activities, see PAC Fundraising.
Volunteering
We truly appreciate all the support that helps enrich our children’s school experience. While funding is required to support these programs, your time is also just as valuable. Volunteering is a meaningful way to get to know the school, teachers, staff, and fellow PJ parents.
