Fundraising Campaigns – Jamieson PAC

[DONE] Laptop Cart (Set of 30 Laptops + Charging Cart) – $31,000 / $31,000
- Laptops are primarily used by Intermediate students (Gr. 4-7).
- The school currently has 2 Sets of Laptops. One of the sets is reaching end of life and need to be replaced. Laptops still functional in this set will be repurposed in classrooms & library. VSB only funds 1 laptop cart often with refurbished/second-hand laptops which cost ~$100 to fix each time an issue arises. The cost of repairs will quickly add up with aged laptops.
- PAC voted in favor of funding this from the PAC General Funds in May 2024.
I-Pad (Set of 30 iPads + Charging Cart) – $0 / $15,729
- I-Pads are primarily used by primary students (K-3).
- The school currently has 2 Set of I-pads. One of the sets is reaching end of life and need to be replaced. Ipads still functional in this set will be repurposed in classrooms & library.

Field Trip Subsidy- $12,600
- PAC has been providing Jamieson Elementary School with a budget to help subsidize Field Trips. In 2024-2025, the proposal is to provide $600 per class (21 Divisions).
- Field Trip subsidy has been well received by the community as it enables our teachers to further enrich our children’s education whilst keeping the cost on families low.
- Examples of Field Trips from 2023-2024 include: Science World, Van Dusen, Ice Skating, Pumpkin Patch, and even Grouse Mountain
Classroom Support – $8,350
- PAC approves an Annual Budget to augment funding from the VSB per Classroom. In 2024-2025, the proposal is to provide $350 per class (21 Divisions), and plus $500 x 2 for support teachers.
- This is up from $7,800 in 2023-2024 as a result of more student enrollment.
Library Support – $2,000
- PAC approves an Annual Budget for the library which benefits all students. This cost augments funding from VSB to enable our librarian(s) to keep the Jamieson library filled with books appropriate for all reading levels.
Student Agenda – $2,623
- PAC covers the cost of Student Agendas for all students.
