How to make dreams come true...

We here at MPES PFA believe firmly in the power of ACTION.  Dreams are wonderful things, but ACTION is what allows us to live out those dreams.

Photo Booth Idea!

Awwwww!  Wouldn't this be adorable for our photo booths for next year?!

Here's the tutorial on the offchance that any crafty parents would like to attempt them *wink wink nudge nudge*

Budget Breakdown & Library Funds

I've heard of a couple concerns regarding how funds are spent so I thought I'd give you guys a Reader's Digest breakdown of PFA spending:
The purpose of a Parents' Fundraising Association is to provide funding for resources that Alberta Education does not and/or cannot fund. This means that the PFA's priorities are typically NOT things like classroom supplies, gym equipment, or library books, because there ARE ways to get funds from the government for those things (slow, red-taped ways, but still). That said, the PFA is a registered society, completely independent from the school and Alberta Ed, and can opt to fund certain items in those categories, as it sees fit, upon a majority vote.
