School's out for summer - and so is PAC! 

Your 2017-18 PAC Executive wishes you all a safe and sunny summer break! Please continue to check your email for Suncrest school news over the next few weeks, as details for the intermediate playground continue to unfold. 

Emails sent to suncrestpac@gmail.com will receive replies when the school year commences in September. 

On a personal note, I wish to thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be your PAC Chair for the last two years. I am happy to announce that a full PAC Executive has stepped forward to lead us into the 2018-19 school year: Warmest welcomes to Melissa Seymour, Leanne Sung Bennett, Amy Mukai and Laura Levera, who will be voted in at the first meeting in September to join Treasurer Bill Patara and DPAC Ashley Sandquist. 

In keeping with our first-day-of-school tradition, free coffee will be served in the gym from 9-10 a.m. on the first day back - see you in September! 

All my best,
Robyn Stubbs

​Hi Suncrest Parents,
 
We know that time is of the essence for the playground, and we would like parent feedback to narrow down structures so we can try to get the kids to vote on 3-4 structures next week!  Many revisions have gone back and forth about the playground, and the process is not complete, but enough to narrow down the options.  Some are still not great, while others are developing very nicely!  We’d like to go with what we have so far and narrow down structures.  Good news is that we finally have student and parent feedback to work with, and vendors are trying to incorporate the requests and priorities we collected from Suncrest:

• Rope structure
• Spinning structure
• Tall slide
  (realistically it won’t be taller than 8 feet, otherwise the slide structure eats up all the budget, and only small other equipment is left, you’ll see that is some of the options).
• Monkey Bars
• Climbing wall

 
Please note that it’s IMPOSSIBLE to get EVERYTHING above in one playground.  The budget just doesn’t allow for it. 
 
Please take a look and help narrow down one structure from each vendor that we’ll use for the kids to vote on.  Whatever feedback we have by 3pm we’ll use to ask the vendors to send a poster for us, and HOPEFULLY the kids can see it Monday and have some time to think and vote before school lets out.  IT WON’T BE THE FINAL PRODUCT THEY VOTE ON, as changes will still be made to fit into budget.

We have $99,000 to spend on a new playground and we're hoping to install it this summer!  The process so far has been detailed in our minutes over the course of the year, so please refer to our minutes for that info.

We are currently in the process of student consultation, which was detailed in the listserv by Ms. Drisussi about student drawings.  

​PAC wants to know what’s important to YOU as Suncrest parents and the community where the playground will be installed!  Please take a look at our quotes and structures so far, and fill out the following survey - it will only take a minute and your input is greatly appreciated.

The link will be open until Monday June 11, midnight.

Hello, Suncresters! 

In addition to a lovely luncheon organized by the amazing Wendy, PAC is gifting Suncrest staff with a day of massage! We are bringing in a registered massage therapist for 5.5 hours on Monday, June 18 to give some wicked head-and-shoulder massages ... see below for our message of appreciation to staff:
