PAC Info:

Halloween dance – Could we please have some parent volunteers to help with the food service at the dance on Oct. 26th at 6pm. If you can help please email journeypacmom@gmail.com.

Purdys – Treat yourself, your family and friends this Christmas!  WE’RE FUNDRAISING WITH PURDYS CHOCOLATIER!  THIS PROGRAM GIVES 25% OF THE SALES BACK TO JOURNEY.   Brochures and order forms have gone home in back packs.  Or simply go to purdysgpp.com, log in/create an account and follow the instructions.  The group number is 36616. **VERY IMPORTANT**  In the “additional info” field, please enter student’s name and teacher’s name and note if you want the order sent home or if you are picking it up.  Orders are due by Nov. 22nd and will be available to pick up Dec. 13th.  Thank you!

SPUD – The PAC is offering a new fundraiser this year through SPUD!  SPUD is an online grocer which specializes in fresh, local, primarily organic foods.  They’ve been around for a number of years and many families may already be familiar with them and using the service.  A poster is attached which outlines how the program works (existing SPUD customers can support this – it’s not limited to new customers!).  Sooke receives free delivery on Thursdays with a minimum $45 order and the PAC receives 25% for every produce box sold!  Please let us know if you have any questions or need help getting your first order going.  Thank you for your support!

Art cards – Our amazing art teacher Ms. Johnston is helping interested kids in art this term to make some beautiful artwork that can be turned into greeting cards, mugs, blankets and so much more. It turns your child’s artwork into gifts! The art and order forms will be sent home in the next couple weeks. Please order by Nov. 3 to receive your order by Christmas. If your child is not in art this term and you would like them to participate in this fundraiser, please ask them to stop by the art room and speak with Ms. Johnston or email the pac at the email address below.

Milk Money – Do you buy your milk at Village Foods? Do you know that Village Foods gives our school money every time you buy milk there? Did you fill out a milk money form when your child was in elementary school and the money is still going to that school? Please fill out the form and drop off at the store to register for the first time or if you need to let Village Foods know your child is going to Journey!

All questions regarding fundraising can be directed to:  journeymiddleschoolpac@gmail.com
