Description
Come out for some BBQ this Saturday to support the Okanagan Falls Elementary School.
The Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is inviting the whole community to join the BBQ fundraiser outside Belich’s AG Foods in Okanagan Falls.
"Nothing brings people together like good food and community spirit, and this event is one of the many ways we continue to support our students and school," PAC shared in a news release.
Parents are hoping to help gather some donations for their $20,000 fundraising goal to upgrade the school’s iPads and technology equipment.
"These tools are essential for keeping our classrooms current and helping our students thrive in today’s fast-moving world. Thanks to the steady support of our community, we’re already chipping away at that goal."
The funds raised also go towards extracurricular opportunities like parkour programs, Fun Days, and sports equipment.
"Every burger, hot dog, cookie and drink purchased at events like this truly makes a difference. It’s our community spirit that fuels these efforts and ensures our kids have the resources, opportunities, and experiences they deserve," PAC said.
"So come on out, grab some lunch, and support Okanagan Falls Elementary! Together, we’re making big things happen for our little school."
The BBQ runs Oct. 4 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Organizer
Okanagan Falls Elementary PAC
Our parent advisory council (PAC) is the recognized voice of parents and caregivers in their child’s education. PAC offers an opportunity to be involved in the student experience. We work alongside administration to ensure the parent voice is heard. Meetings provide a forum to learn about school and district-wide business/activities, and to vote on PAC provided activities. Meetings are also a place to voice concerns and receive direct feedback from the school administration. With parent and community support, PAC provides fun, skill-building activities to enhance the school curriculum and build a stronger community.
Venue
The store is a one-stop shop that offers everything you and your family needs, from the freshest produce to the finest cuts of meat to all the necessary staples. And if they don’t have what you need, they will get it. It’s the way Marino Belich, known to many as “the candy man,” did business in North Vancouver when he owned and operated his grocery store in Edgemont Village, and it’s how his descendants do it today at Belich’s AG Foods in Okanagan Falls. They are part of the community, and they are here to fulfill all of your grocery needs.
