Thank you Norquay! Our progress as of October 19, 2015: $8,250!!!!!!
Each year, the Norquay PAC team organizes a Direct Appeal drive. This allows Norquay community members to donate directly, rather than through various fundraising initiatives.
The PAC Direct Appeal was postponed from last May to this Fall. We are hoping to raise $25,000 for much needed upgrade to the school’s technology.
We are asking families to donate $50 towards this or as much as each family can afford. PAC will also apply for grants and write requests for corporate donations.
If you have any contacts with businesses, corporations or organizations that have community sponsorship programs, please forward contact the PAC team.
These are some of the technology learning items the school is hoping to purchase with your generous donations:
- iPads
- Document Cameras
- Projectors
- Whiteboards
Cheques must be made payable to John Norquay Elementary School in order for a tax receipt to be issued.
Additional goals for 2015
- Installation of bike racks – $400
- Community Building Events such as some Carnival Costs, Pancake Breakfast, etc. – $2000
- Teacher Wishlist Items – $600
- 12 Nylon Jackets for Student leaders – 6 Med/Youth and 6 Large/Youth with Norquay logo – we are looking for a company to donate so if you have any contacts for a clothing manufacturer, please send a message to: norquaypacteam@gmail.com
