Bert Ambrose Elementary PAC

🐊 COME HANG OUT WITH YOUR PAC!

Our first regular PAC meeting of the year is coming up, and we’d love to see some new faces around the table!

📅 Tuesday, October 6
⏰ 6:00 PM
📍 Bert Ambrose School Library

This meeting will include a few important items, including our 2026–27 budget and proposed bylaw changes, so it may run a little longer than some of our regular meetings.

Come hear what’s happening, share an idea, ask a question, or simply listen and learn more about what we’re working on this year.

We’d love to have you there! 🐊

🐊 INTRODUCING… THE GATOR DEN! 💚

You may have noticed PAC popping up in the little space off the gym during some of our events over the past couple of years… well, this year it’s officially ours! 🎉

And obviously, if PAC was going to have its own little headquarters, it needed a name.

Welcome to THE GATOR DEN, Home of PAC + Hot Lunch!

This is where our amazing PAC volunteers will be running Wednesday Hot Lunch this year. So if you ever need to pick up your child’s PAC hot lunch, have a question on a Wednesday, or are volunteering with us, look for the Gator Den right off the gym!

Just to help keep everyone straight:

🐊 PAC Wednesday Hot Lunch → The Gator Den
🍎 Mrs. Willson’s Tuesday & Thursday School Lunch Program → the large canteen across from the office

We may be working with slightly cozier real estate this year 😂, but we’re pretty excited to finally have a space that is officially ours, complete with our new Gator Den sign!

We’re looking forward to our first hot lunch on Wednesday when the Gator Den is officially OPEN! 💚

Thank you to everyone who took a moment to share your ideas and suggestions, during Open House, on how PAC can make the most of the coming school year!

We loved all of the thoughtful and creative activities you’d like to see; from water slides and gym equipment, to dances, contests and school-wide activities, we read them all and we are excited to see what we can bring it to life!

It’s always so wonderful to see your happy and smiling faces, and feel the encouragement and support of PAC and the entire Bert Ambrose Elementary School community! Thank you all for your continued dedication to our school! ❤️🐊

Also, Congratulations to Stevie R., winner of tonight’s Door Prize!
