The F.W. Howay Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is a group made up of parents, guardians, and caregivers of students at F.W. Howay Elementary. Everyone with a child at our school is automatically a member.

Our PAC works closely with the school staff, the New Westminster School District (SD40), and other PACs in the city to help build a strong and connected school community. We’re here to support communication between families and the school and to help create fun, enriching experiences for all students.

What does the PAC do?

The PAC Executive Team, along with many helpful volunteers, organizes fundraising efforts and supports events that help make school life even more exciting. These activities often go beyond the regular school curriculum and help build a sense of belonging and school spirit.

Some of the events and programs we support include:

  • Holiday Pancake Breakfast
  • Spring Friendship Dance
  • Family-friendly learning activities like Family Math Night and body science education
  • Cultural and sports supplemental activities such as:
    • Pickleball and tennis
    • Drumming and Bollywood dance lessons
    • Chinese dragon and Indigenous performances

Get Involved & Stay Connected with the PAC

To keep the spirit of our school alive and continue offering valuable programs and events, the PAC is always looking for volunteers. Your participation helps enhance our school community and create enriching experiences for our students.

Meetings are held on the first Monday of each month at 7:00 PM in the school library (unless otherwise noted). We encourage all parents and guardians to attend and get involved!
