New COPACS executive for 2012/13
by Cathy Fountas - Sunday, 15 April 2012, 12:09 PM
 

Hello Saanich PACs,

At the Annual General Meeting on April 5/2012 the new executive was elected for 2012 - 13. COPACS executive tries to represent all three zones in Saanich and all three school levels. This year's executive needs more north zone representation so please encourage parents from Sidney Elementary, North Saanich Middle School and Parklands to consider joining our dynamic group.

Also I just want to say thank you to all the 2011-12 executive members for their great teamwork and dedication in advocating for a parental voice in our district and for public education. You are all great people and wish you all the best.

Cathy Fountas
