Dear Lynnmour Parents,
We hope that you have all settled back into the school routine and that you enjoyed the pizza dinner on Tuesday. With this letter we would like to let you know what we have planned for this school year so that you have a good overview and can mark your calendars well ahead of time. As you can see, we are organizing both social activities to keep the school community together as well as fundraisers for the school so that we can offer the children even more learning opportunities and fun than they would otherwise have. This year we will be raising funds for e.g. more and new iPads.
Having said that, we will need your help to make all of these events happen. We understand that everyone is busy with work, family and other commitments (and so are the PAC executives), but we would really appreciate your help with one, two or even more events coming up. If you do believe that you will not have any time, however, to seize the volunteer opportunities at any of the planned events but would still like to help out, we do accept donation cheques made payable to the Lynnmour PAC; alternatively, you can pay online at

Please select “Lynnmour PAC” as your Fund Destination, and you will also receive an instant tax receipt. We appreciate donations of any amount, as every little bit will make a difference.
