Call for Spending Proposals & Committee Updates
Thank you to all of the parents/guardians who attended our first meeting! We acclaimed our new council, which is made up of five executive positions, and over 40 members-at-large that now have voting rights. A big thanks to Tammy Cruji, Charing Wong and Jasmin Kantarevic for volunteering to remain on the council executive with us.
Our treasurers presented a healthy financial statement for the last school year. This year’s spending proposals will be presented and voted on at our next meeting on Tuesday, November 18.
Submit your proposal here! (due Saturday November 15)
All proposals will be posted on the website for review prior to the meeting. Follow us on Instagram @humbercrestparentcouncil for reminders & updates.
🎈 Committee Update — SoFun
SoFun is SAC’s fundraising and event planning group. Events planned throughout the year include holiday breakfasts, dance-a-thons, and year-end school fair Party in the Playground. SoFun also runs Pizza Days, which will be up and running alongside other hot lunch options soon.
To get things started, SoFun is kicking off the year with a parent/guardian social, taking place at the Babypoint Club on October 17th. Flyers were sent home. More details on our Instagram on how to purchase tickets.
✨ Our first SoFun meeting will be held on Monday November 3rd @ 7pm at The Fiddler’s Dell on Annette St. All are welcome to join.
