School Council Meetings are scheduled monthly. All MMM parents are welcome to attend. Meeting dates and times will be sent out via email and cellular messaging.
If you are not able to attend the meeting in person, please contact us at mmm.schooladvisorycouncil@gmail.com. Note that we recommend in-person attendance since online attendees may not be able to vote on issues raised.
Meetings take place at the school at 7:00pm.
Urgent need for Board Members
We recently help our AGM but we are still looking to recruit board members for the positions of:
Treasurer and Secretary
The SAC board is a group of parents that are helping the school to provide a better environment to our children and we are in urgent need for parents to step up and continue the wonderful work that we do.
If you are interested in helping, please read the role descriptions provided below
Secretary duties: Attend meetings and prepare minutes. Keep records of documents such as minutes, correspondence, and other records. Distribute information such as agendas and minutes prior to each meeting.
Treasurer duties: Keep records of all financial transactions. Make deposits of monies paid to the School council and have signing authority for payments. Prepare monthly financial reports, yearly budget and financial statements
POWERSHOOL DONATIONS
This year, we are asking parents to help our SAC by simply donating through PowerSchool. Donation link can be found in the Fees website (see screen shot here) and if you donate more than $20 you get a tax receipt.
FLIP GIVE
The MMM School Advisory Council is continuing our FlipGive campaign to raise funds again this year for the school. It's an online shopping portal where you can "click through" to many different shopping and gift card sites, and the school earns money on every purchase -- no extra money required from you! It can be as high as 10% of your purchase, or occasionally even more! All you need to do is sign up here:
https://flipgive.app.link/teams/join?joincode=DSVY2Z
Then, when you're shopping online, go through FlipGive first, and click on your store of choice. That's it! The only catch is that items can't be in your cart before going through FlipGive. If you're interested, they have a browser add-on called FlipGive Max, that automatically signs you in when you go to a supported merchant, making things even easier. If you do earn a lot, you're recognized on the "leaderboard" for our school (unless you prefer to remain anonymous).
They have a lot of gift cards too, for stores and restaurants, so if you know you'll be spending money at any of these, get an e-gift card first, and help out your child's school! If you're feeling ambitious, getting your friends and family to sign up (eg. with a Facebook or Instagram post) can really multiply your impact 😊!
We haven't finalized a goal yet, but the frontrunner (in addition to the usual teacher appreciation meal and grade 12 grad breakfast) is new indoor seating in common areas for the kids -- high tables, chairs, and maybe even lounging chairs. We'll keep you posted on that.
This type of fundraiser has the potential to be very successful if you (and friends and family) make a conscious effort to click through FlipGive when online shopping, especially with Christmas approaching, so thank-you in advance for your efforts!
