PAC News

The PAC is the officially recognized collective voice of parents. They provide parents the opportunity to gather to discuss matters affecting the school and the education of its children. In addition, special events and fundraisers to help support the school are planned through the PAC. These events, which bring together the school community are only possible with parent involvement.

The PAC meets once a month with our school Principal, to discuss events and news at Maple Lane. During the meetings all parents who attend vote on items to purchase for the school and activities to sponsor with the PAC funds raised through our many fundraising efforts. All parents (PAC executives or not) are invited to join and vote on initiatives during the meeting.

Spring Fling Carnival - Fri, May 23

We’re excited to announce that planning is underway for our annual Spring Fling Carnival—a fun-filled evening for the whole family with games, inflatables, food, activities and more! It's one of the biggest events of the year, bringing together our amazing Maple Lane community while raising much-needed funds for our school. Please stay tuned - tickets will be on sale in the next few weeks!

 How You Can Help – Silent Auction Donations Needed!

We’re currently collecting items for our silent auction, and we’re asking families and local businesses to consider donating. All proceeds go directly toward much-needed items for the school, as well as supporting programs that enhance student learning and engagement.

Here are some great donation ideas:

  • Gift cards (restaurants, coffee shops, stores, services)
  • New, still-in-package items (games, toys, home products, board games, puzzles, crafts, or accessories)
  • Tickets or passes (local attractions, entertainment)
  • Small business products
  • Bottles of wine or gourmet pantry items for gift baskets

Even small items are helpful! We can often combine donations into prize bundles. If you’d like to donate, please reach out to the PAC at maplelanepac@gmail.com

Ninkazu School Lunch

The Maple Lane PAC had been previously working with Eat Up to provide additional lunch options on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

The PAC has now switched services, and made arrangements with Ninkazu - who had prepared many of the lunches for Eat Up.

Students will receive the same portion of food for the same price as they did with the previous arrangement.

Please see the flyer for ordering links. Lunch deliveries will resume on April 10. The deadline for orders is April 8.
