Volunteer

We need you to help out to make our school a success!  With each parent taking on something during the school year the load is light for everyone, plus it creates a great sense of community that we can all appreciate at PJ.

Preparation, washing and testing the gifts on November 22 to December 13
Assist with the preparation and cleaning of donations! We need some help testing electronics, washing stuffies and cleaning/packaging jewellery. Sign up here.
Set up and Event Day December 16 – 18
We need some help moving items and starting set up on December 16th but most of the work happens on the 17th. So much to do from setting up our market tables to decorating the gym. We are also asking parents to drop off snacks for our volunteers, help with gifts, assist with our wrapping station, collect money and then stick around to clean up after. Sign up here (coming soon).

PJPAC Executive

If you’d like to make a positive contribution to the PJ community please considering joining the PAC Executive for 2024-2025.

Chair: This member will lead General, Special, and Executive meetings; preparing and presenting agendas; understanding the constitution, bylaws, and meeting rules; appointing committees as authorized by the Executive membership; representing the PAC in school and district activities; serving as the official spokespersons of the PAC; and acting as signing officers. This role can also be shared as co-chairs.
 
Communications: We are in need of another communications member to help with various communications duties, with the intent to take over comms next school year. You would start by writing the ebulletin and managing the PJPAC WhatsApp group, and eventually train on the website and other communications jobs. If you know WordPress, that would be a great benefit. 
 

To learn more about PAC Executive roles and figure out what would make a good fit for your skills and interests please refer to our bylaws. To express your interest or learn more, email [email protected] or [email protected].

Fun Lunch Distribution

We are looking for volunteers to help with Fun Lunch food distribution Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 12:00pm to 1:00pm. Without our amazing parent volunteers we would not be able to run this program. Please sign up here.

Popsicle Friday Helpers

We need 2 parents to help sell treats to PJ kids one day a month (typically the first Friday of the month), starting at 2:30 PM. Please sign up for a shift here.
