What did the Canadian Parents for French achieve this year in Saanich?
We hosted our AGM last week and we're happy to attached the Chair's report that will provide you with a quick overview
on key activities
we supported here in Saanich. This has been a great year with much
achieved by our small team, there has been a huge injection of energy
and
great connections have been made between our group and the Saanich
French Immersion schools. Learn more on the attached report...
We
were sad to say goodbye to our wonderful Treasurer, Nicole Andrew Lee
who has been with our Chapter for five years. However, she is willing
to remain until we can find a new treasurer and will mentor whomever
that person will be! If you could be interested to support this
interesting volunteer role, do please drop us a line. It could an
excellent way to boost your resume and at the same time you'd be doing a
fabulous service to aide our group.
We are also
seeking new school representatives for Ecole: Keating, Deep Cove and
Stelly's. These are interesting roles as it allows you the
opportunity to liaise with the French teachers and also have a role on
school's PAC - where you get to regularly meet the school admin and learn more about things that are going on.
Depending
on which activities might be taking place, volunteer time is around
5-10 hours per month. These roles can also be shared and some of most successful reps have been via a partnership arrangement.
We
are also urgently seeking someone to head up our fundraiser activity
for September. This is very much an ad hoc volunteer role, with a
number of hours at the start of the school year and then ramping down by
December. Do let us know if you can help?
Remember,
all funds received are given back to assisting French learning in our
community. Without fundraising we operate with a very small membership and
those funds alone are not sufficient to help us make any meaningful
impact. So please encourage your friends to join and get more active!
To
complete our volunteer search,
if there is anyone interested to help us get our succession filing up
to speed, we'd love to hear from you. This could be a talented teen/student who
is seeking more hands-on pc experience... There would be no need to
attend any meetings.
