Sales Tips & Tricks!! 

• Share the links with friends, family, co workers and even your employer!
• Post the handouts we send home in your building lobby for your neighbours
• Take the forms to your workplace and offer your coworkers
• Ask your employer/yourself if they are interested in a giving back option for client or employee gifts.
• Would your workplace like to decorate with plants for the season? 
• Does your strata decorate with plants for the season?
• Are you friends with a business owner who decorates with plants for the season?
• All orders from a business that total over $100 (can be combined orders) get free delivery if they are in the Vancouver city limits

Meet your New Parent Advisory Committee Executive

Chair - Ian Rowe
After a few years on the PAC I am excited for the opportunity to serve our school community as PAC Chair. Our son Abbott is in grade 3 with Ms.Wong and Ms.Friesen in a 2/3 split. I am looking forward to delivering on the parent priorities and helping to continue to make our school a great place to be.

Treasurer - Juciane Gomes
After two years as part of Lord Robert's community, I thought it is time to serve our community building a better future for our kids.

Fundraising Coordinator - Holly Paddon 
I have a Rory who will start Kindergarten next year, and my Lilly is in 2nd grade this year which means this will be my 3rd year working on the FUNdraising and Events for Lord Roberts.  After trying so many ideas, I am very excited and proud of the program we now have in place for campaigns & events for the school year.  Now, with templates that include procedures, job descriptions and more – you can now step up and operate any program yourself with ease and confidence.  I continue to welcome new ideas, please never hesitate to reach out to me at any time – chat soon!

Secretary - Michelle Webster
You may have seen me popping popcorn at one of our LRE Movie Nights or more recently out playing basketball in the rain with my grade 4 son.  I'm looking forward to my new role as PAC Secretary to find out more about the process of how parent priorities become LRE realities and to contribute where I can to help keep LRE an amazing place for our children to be and to learn.

Leanne Dospital - DPAC Rep
Leanne lives in Coal Harbour with her partner and son. They've lived in Coal Harbour and before that the West End for over 20 years. Her son started at Lord Roberts and will graduate in 2021. He says that he loves walking to school, he's in grade 6 and appreciates having Friday lunches in the neighbourhood, and thinks Miss Dilgir is the best teacher! Leanne and her family are grateful to be part of such a dynamic, caring, and diverse community. She is the DPAC rep and will ensure information flows between the PAC and DPAC.

Webmaster - Ryan Schweitzer
This is my second year on our PAC Executive, serving as the Webmaster. My daughter, Maya, is in Grade 5, with Mr, Kirby. I’m hoping to continue to improve on the PAC website, as well as make some other improvements on our digital systems.

Past Chair - Andrea Jaques
Andrea Jacques is excited to continue on in the Past Chair role this year. Her focus is ensure that the systems that have been put in place are solid enough to be sustained long term and weather inevitable changes in both PAC Executive, admin and staff. Her son, Zen, is in grade 6 and she is also excited about working to make PAC events and initiatives more environmentally friendly. Watch for her hubby, Boyan, at movie nights as he loves to put up the big screen and help make sure all of the tech is working to perfection!

Sandy Galpin - Active Transportation
I have two children at the school and have been involved with the PAC formally and informally for a few years. I value the positive contribution of PAC and the many volunteers in helping make our school a great place to be. This year I will be working on some Active Transportation initiatives as well as assisting with everything fundraising.
