2025 Direct Appeal FundraisingThe Sir Wilfrid Laurier PAC (Parent Advisory Council) is kicking off our 2025 Direct Appeal Campaign. This year, we are seeking to raise $10,000 in hopes of offering sports equipment, technology upgrades and other learning supports for our school. Parents typically donate $50 - $100 for each child at Laurier, equivalent to $5-$10 per month of the school year.

This year’s direct appeal aims to provide:
We need volunteers, suggestions (or concerns), and ideas to meet and enhance the needs of our school community. We want to hear from you!
Classroom SupportPAC provides funding each year to teachers for programs and supplies to supplement what is provided by the VSB.
|
Technology Continuing efforts to upgrade technology available as a learning tool in the classroom. This year, the PAC has been requested to fund two tablets per classroom, allowing teachers to offer differentiated learning.
|
Sports EquipmentThe PAC has been requested to fund new basketball hoops near the South building to offer more playing courts.
|
Supporting teachers' initiativesThe PAC has also received requests from Laurier teachers for continued support of the SOAR Committee, garden supplies, and new learning commons furniture in the South Building.
