Dear Parents:
I would like to extend a warm welcome to our new Duncan Cran families and welcome back to those returning. While it is hard to believe that the summer passed so quickly, the feeling of a fresh, new start is exciting.
Duncan Cran PAC is a volunteer organization comprised of parents who are all dedicated to the successful education of our children. The purpose of our organization is to aid students and staff by providing support for educational and recreational needs; to promote open communication between administration, teachers, and parents; and to encourage Duncan Cran school spirit and pride. The PAC uses its resources, both manpower and monetary, to support all efforts of the staff and our school.
I encourage you to not only join our organization at meetings, but to get involved in the classroom as well. Everything we do is based on volunteers and we are always looking for those of you to help make a difference in the lives of our children. Every positive imprint we make on our children can go a long, long way. If you are able to give some time, day or evenings, please join us. Many hands make the job easier. Our group meets once a month to discuss events, plan fundraisers to enhance all programs, and share ideas. This is also a wonderful way to find out what is happening at the school as a staff representative is always present.
Our first PAC meeting of the year is scheduled for Monday, September 23rd, 2013. Our meetings start at 7 PM and run roughly one hour. We have had a few executive members step away from their respective positions for various reasons, so I am looking forward to meeting families that would like to get involved with our PAC this school year.
I am excited to begin a wonderful and fulfilling school year for our students and families. I believe that it is of ultimate importance that we do everything we can to enhance the learning environment of our children as they truly are our future. It will take all of us working together to ensure that this happens. I look forward to working with all parents (old and new) and encourage you to contact us with your ideas.
