Students and teachersthroughout the SurreySchool District were among those horrifiedby the devastation caused by the tsunami,and many sprang into action. Schools’fundraising effortsranged from hat days tocoin drives to talentshows as students andstaff used their imagina-tion to raise as much

money as possible.“I could barely carry all

the coins to the bank,” saidJean Smith, head secretary at

Kennedy Trail elementary whowas rolling coins all day.In just three days, students at

Kennedy Trail raised $2,000 througha coin drive and bottle recycling. “The kids really took it to heart,”

said Principal Chris Zimich. “I’m reallyproud of them. We tapped into somethingin them that resonates with people. Theyrecognized that there is a difference that

can be made with their contributions;life altering contributions. We talked about the ways

the money would be used, such as providingwater purification.”

Zimmich pointed outthat Kennedy Trail is not

in a wealthy commu-nity. Hart Schnee,

Principal of Senator Reid Elementary, echoes that sentimentwhen he speaks of the fundraising efforts of his school. Theschool felt that a goal of raising $500 was realistic. Yet at theend of five days, fundraising brought in $3,231.65.

The Student Leadership Club at Senator Reid developed a

plan that extended from Jan. 4 to 10. Besides collecting cash donations, Senator Reid also held fun

events such as a jelly bean count. A different jar of jelly beanswas set out each day and students could guess the number in ajar for 25 cents. Hundreds of dollars were raised with this sim-ple game. A movie night held on an evening of particularly

heavy snow didn’t damp-en the fundraising spirit;students and teacherspaid a toonie for admis-sion and stayed late forthe screening.

Colebrook Elementarythrew out a challenge toanother small school,Sunrise Ridge: Theschool that raised themost money would betreated to homemadecookies baked by the los-ing school. Colebrookstudents were busy shov-eling walks and doingwhatever else it took toadd to their school total,which was more than$1,180.

In this age of technolo-gy, it is fitting that NorthRidge Elementary stu-dents have put theirthoughts and art on awebsite atwww.sd36.bc.ca/north-ridge. Click on the “AsiaQuake Disaster” link andyou’ll see North Ridgeraised $1,921 in just twodays. A list of organiza-tions helping in the areaaffected by the tsunamiis also on the website.

Elgin Park Secondaryjoined forces with thelocal Rotary in order toraise funds. The schoolhad a clear goal: raise$33,000 to rebuild aschool in Thailand. Injust days, the Elgin Parkschool community raisedwhat was certainly thelargest total raised by asingle school: $20,754.69.The Semiahmoo Rotaryclub was so impressed,members committed toprovide the remaining

funds required for theproject.

Sullivan HeightsSecondary studentsmade their contributionsin toonies. The “It Only

Takes a Toonie” cam-paign was conceived andorganized by sistersattending the school. Asthe pair predicted, ifeveryone in the school

donated just one toonie,$2,000 would be raised.The girls succeeded inraising $2,400.

“It’s heartwarming tosee young students with

that kind of moralresponsibility,” saidSurrey School Boardchair Shawn Wilson. “It’sa spectacular statementof respect for humans.

And one of the most sig-nificant things is thateven students in needthemselves find a way toparticipate and helpthose more needy.”

For the last decade,staff and students atEarl Marriott Secondary have adoptedless fortunate families for Christmasand, through some caring and imagi-native fundraising—spearheaded by thestudent council—provided the families“holiday hampers” of gifts, cash andgift certificates.

Traditionally, school departmentshave adopted one or more familiesand are responsible for collecting giftsand food stuffs to meet the needs ofthat family. Larger departments havesometimes taken on more than onefamily. The hampers are delivered tothe families through two inner-cityelementary schools.

Cash donations are collectedthrough some enterprising methods.Fifty-cent fines for swearing are readi-ly paid by the students, who also offerto “rent” pens, paper and text books for25 to 50 cents (despite those schoolsupplies being available to anyonewho does not donate). Students arevery generous and more often thannot, donate far more than the infrac-tion or rent requires.

Students and staff also “troll the halls”with tin cans looking for donationsbetween classes using coffee tins deco-rated for the occasion that are donatedby a coffee-a-holic teacher. Students alsodonate toys to the hampers.

Allyson Fleming, social studiesdepartment head at Earl Marriott, notesstudents are genuinely touched andconcerned by the situations of othersless fortunate and do their best to bringgifts. One year, a 50-pound bag of dogfood was donated for a hamper des-tined for a family with a dog.

“A student in one of my grade 10classes brought in a $100 bill and I'vebeen astounded by the number of stu-dents donating $20 and more,” saidFleming.

During the last week of schoolbefore winter break, the school sends aconvoy of five or more vehicles to thetwo inner-city elementary schools.Staff at the elementary schools meetthe convoy and help unload the ham-pers from the vehicles before distribut-ing the bounty to designated families.

We have all beenthrough life’s little diffi-culties. It is no different with DPAC.Looking back over our last year, I can saywe have had our ups and downs.However, the organization has been ableto overcome a variety of obstacles. Thiscurrent 2004-2005 Board of Directorshas accomplished much and continues tomove forward effectively to help the par-ents and children of Surrey.

The board this year is comprised ofparents from a variety of backgrounds.Our vice-president, Gwen Dreger, fromSurrey Traditional School, is a pastor of achurch. Ms. Dreger’s sage advice hasbecome invaluable to the board. Our sec-retary, G. Stuart Haslam from LordTweedsmuir Secondary, has been on theDPAC board for a number of years. Hebrings to us his vast knowledge of non-profit societies and their operations. Mr.Haslam’s professional attention to thedetailed taking of minutes has benefitedus all. Our treasurer, Sandra Benz fromL.A. Matheson Secondary, another veter-an of the DPAC board, has taken on ahuge undertaking in bringing order outof chaos with our book keeping. JoannaAnonychuk from Kwantlen ParkSecondary is our B.C. Confederation ofParent Advisory Councils (BCCPAC) dis-trict associate and DPAC’s longest-servingboard member (“the oldest cow in theDPAC barn” as she so humorously putsit). She brings to us a wealth of knowl-edge about BCCPAC and years of experi-ence working with many different com-munity boards.

There have also been several newadditions to our board. Jeannie Bairdfrom Bridgeview Elementary has agreedto take on the task of replacing Joannanext year as our representative to BCC-PAC, as this is Joanna’s last year with us.Mark Adams from Berkshire ParkElementary brings his years as a busi-nessman and his unique point of view tothe table. Stephanie Hotchkiss fromCoyote Creek Elementary, a mother oftwo special needs children, takes on thejob of chairing our new special educationcommittee. This committee will provideparents of special needs children withmany useful resources and the informa-tion they will need when their childrenare ready to begin their schooling. LizWalker from Sullivan Heights Secondary,a community activist and veteran envi-ronmentalist, brings a socially responsi-

ble vision to the board. In addition, we cannot forget the won-

derful Advocacy Team that continues tosupport and help so many Surrey parents(and their children) with their variouschallenges. The team continues to workbehind the scenes in a most effectivemanner and our thanks goes to each andevery member of the Advocacy Team.

This year, the board has accomplishedseveral goals. Firstly, we have completeda constitutional review of our society andpassed before the membership newbylaws governing DPAC. Secondly, wehave set in place new policies governingDPAC board members’ conduct. Thisboard has recognized the need to ensureconsistent operational standards fromyear to year and has set about to passpolicies that will endure into the future.The board has also recognized the needto help PACs enlist volunteers. To thisend, the board is planning several proj-ects that will be beneficial to PACs. Oneof those projects is the Parent ResourceCentre/DPAC Office.

DPAC needs support from PACs,whether this comes in a financial form byway of a PAC donation, or in the form ofvolunteers. Please consider this at yourmonthly PAC meetings.

I am proud to lead this group of bright,hardworking parents known as our DPACBoard of Directors. They have proven thatteamwork is all about sacrificing personaltime for a greater community cause thatultimately, will help the children and par-ents of Surrey. I extend a warm invitationto one and all to come and join us at aDPAC general meeting.

Mary Gibbons is the principal ofHolly elementary school

How long have you been an edu-cator in Surrey?

I emigrated to Canada in 1975, andwas a “Teacher-On-Call” in Surrey for anumber of years. This was an excitingand interesting time for me; enablingme to meet so many educators acrossthe district, forging many invaluableties, friendships and acquaintances. Ilater became a teacher at GrosvenorRoad Elementary, followed by McLeodRoad, Surrey Centre and HaroldBishop. I became vice principal atHarold Bishop in 1995. Two years later,I became the principal of Kensington

Prairie until 2000, and then I moved toDon Christian until 2003. I’m now inmy second year at Holly.

What is your educational back-ground?

I have Teachers’ TrainingCertification from St. Mary’s College inNewcastle-Upon-Tyne, England, aBachelor of General Studies fromSimon Fraser University and a MastersDegree from San Diego University.

Where did you grow up and go toschool?

I grew up in Birmingham, Englandwhere I attended primary school, agrammar school and a technical college.

What is your favourite SurreySchool District moment?

It is really hard to pick one definingmoment over so many years. Thefavourite moments come all the time.Just the other day, a young woman whoI had been concerned about when Itaught her in grade four turned up at thecounter at Holly wanting to see me and

tell me about her many accomplish-ments. She looked great and was sodetermined about working hard for herfuture. Those times make a difference.

Describe some outstanding char-acteristics of your school.

Every school I have worked at I havebecome extremely fond of and eachtime I leave a school I am sad to go. Isometimes think all the roads in myvaried career have led me to Holly

school. I wish everyone in the districtcould experience Holly! It is a trulyamazing school; so full of life, energy,vitality, fun and laughter. As an inner-city school, we also have our chal-lenges, but it is such a great place towork. Holly is truly a communityschool. We do not have a PAC as such,but a community-based non-profitHolly Society, where members mightbe past or present parents, or affiliatedwith the community or school in someway. Events go on throughout the yearthat the society sponsors and we bene-fit enormously from its efforts. We havea large and energetic staff that devotesa great deal of time to the students. It iswonderful to work with such a groupof supportive, hard working, fun lovingpeople! At the heart of our school arethe students. Our students come fromaround the world, with over 50 lan-guages spoken amongst our diverseand vibrant student population. Youcould come by at lunch time and seestudents playing chess, crocheting, play-ing games, learning bangra dancing orinvolved in sports.

For the second year, members ofthe Surrey Eagles hockey team havesupported Bear Creek Elementarystudents with visits and assistancein a variety of activities.

Dressed in their jerseys, the B.C.Hockey League Junior “A” teammembers are excellent role modelsby sharing messages with theyoungsters about the importance oflearning, having goals and doingtheir best.

The players visit classrooms toread to students, as well as listen tothe students read to them. Thehockey players also help the stu-dents with their schoolwork and getinvolved in other activities such as“Walk To School” days.

Team members attended theschool’s recognition assembly andplayed an important role by hand-ing out awards.

The players also get involved in

sports at the school. They help outin field trips to the local ice rinkby tying skate laces and helpingchildren to skate. They also helpteach good sportsmanship by play-ing floor hockey and volleyballgames with the students. As the“price” to see the fun gamesinvolving the Surrey Eagle playersand students, they collected foodbank donations.

“There is no doubt our childrenrespect these young men and learnmany positive messages fromthem,” says Bear Creek Elementaryprincipal Mo Rainbow. “Our schoolappreciates the Surrey Eagles’ assis-tance in teaching our students theimportance of education. We reallyvalue and enjoy this partnership.”

If your school is interested ininviting Surrey Eagles players,please call Sharon Goldstein at 604-531-4625, ext. 2.
