PAC Fundraiser
Hey Parents,
As a PAC, we get that lives are busy and asking friends and family over and over to buy whatever fundraiser we’re selling can get very tiring. So this year, we present the ANTI-Fundraiser Fundraiser. We are hoping to raise $3000 towards more exciting items for the school Makerspace (robots, VR, drones, etc). All students will be able to benefit from these learning tools!
With over 300 kids at MMS, if we raise $10 per kid, we’d reach our goal in a flash! But knowing we have a range of budgets, no amount is too big or small to help us reach our goals!
We have set incentives to get the kids excited about the ANTI-Fundraiser Fundraiser:
- At $1000 raised: Kids get an Extra Lunch hour Makerspace and open Gym Time
- At $2000 raised: Kids get 2 periods of ‘Choice Afternoon’ (Day Wonder-esque)
- At $3000 raised: Kids get 1/2 day of Day Wonder (each kid signs up for 2 x 1 hour
sessions) - BONUS: If we raise $4000 we will WAX Mr. Meads legs!
Donations will be accepted until November 1, so you have the whole month of October to donate. Note: If we do not reach our goal of $3000, we might have to do some of those other fundraisers through the year. Watch the school’s Instagram account for regular
updates on our collected donations.
You can send cash or a cheque with your kid to school or drop it off at the school office.Donations made by cheque to Hanover School Division of $25 or more are eligible for a tax receipt.
Please email your PAC members if you have any questions at mitchellmspac@gmail.com.
Thanks!

What happens when my kid gets 'sent to the office'?
MMS uses a Restorative Approach when students get 'sent to the office'. We are trying to change the narrative that the office is a 'bad' place to be. There are times when kids need a reset because of an incident that takes place. This reset often happens in the office.
We want the office to be a place where things get fixed. The office is just another place to learn and grow. We use the office as a reset through a conversation in an attempt to repair what may have been broken. Please read the difference between a Traditional Approach to school discipline compared to a Restorative Approach to school discipline.
