The PAC will be hosting a spring fling on 24 April from 3pm-5pm. There will be face painting, a photo booth, a bake sale and lots more. All caregivers and chldren are invited to stop by and mingle with other caregivers. We look forward to seeing everyone at the Spring Fling. The weather is supposed to be nice and sunny!
We are still looking for more volunteers to donate baked goods for the bake sale. Please drop off your baked goods at 9am in the school gym and they will be auctioned off at the Spring Fling to raise funds for school activities.

VSB Budget Letter Campaign
Sign and Share by April 25, 2025
As the Vancouver School Board prepares its 2025/2026 budget, parents and caregivers across the district are calling for a renewed commitment to students. We are deeply concerned that current funding levels are not meeting the needs of learners—particularly students with disabilities and diverse needs.
To ensure that all students have access to the support and stability they deserve, we are urging the Board to prioritize funding for inclusive education, frontline staff, and direct services that make a tangible difference in classrooms every day.https://www.vancouverdpac.org/urgent-vsb-budget-letter-campaign-sign-and-share-by-april-18-2025/
Please help us gather as much support as possible before the April 25th deadline. We’ve made it easy—just fill in the form online to send your letter of support. Please sign and share! Every letter counts.

Southlands Elementary PAC is excited to launch the Direct Donation campaign, raising funds for the 2025/2026 school year.
http://vsb.schoolcashonline.com/Fee/Details/1869/196/false/true
Southlands Elementary School takes pride in having built a strong spirit of Giving that is powered by the generous contributions of your time and financial support to help enrich our children’s learning. Over the years, the Direct Donation campaign has helped Southlands deliver new programs and upgraded services to our entire student community that were outside of the VSB funding. With ongoing provincial education funding cuts, the need for direct funding from families and our community is ever more crucial.
We are seeking to raise $10,000 to fund our basic budgetary demands and enrichment programs that help our children learn and develop the IB Primary Years Program Essential elements: Learner Profile; Transdisciplinary Themes; Concepts, Attitudes; Approaches to Learning and Action. The money raised in this campaign will be used to fund the following items in the 2025-26 school year:
- New Classroom Projectors - $5,000
- Classroom Funds - $5,000
Please check the campaign flyer for details of how to donate and get your tax receipt
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR GENEROUS SUPPORT!
