Polaris Montessori Elementary PAC Executive Committee is a dedicated group of volunteer parents who work tirelessly to advocate for and raise funds to support Polaris students. Polaris PAC’s main goal is to support kids being happy and having fun at school.
We strive to host community building events like BBQs and school dances, promote literacy through our annual used book sale and support Montessori programs by contributing to S.T.E.A.M. and Sensory Room needs. We love to provide fun opportunities for Polaris students and their families to get together and make lasting connections.
Our fundraising proceeds go directly back to benefit all Polaris students to pay for: buses for school field trips, classroom pet feed and care, Montessori materials, Sensory Room items, STEAM class items, and funding students who may need assistance for Hot Lunch meals. We also sponsor hot dog days, popsicles for Fun Day, movie nights and other fun events throughout the year.
In 2026-2027 we are working on building an outdoor Indigenous classroom and gardens and would like to support architectural upgrades in 2027-2028. We want to support students’ request and fundraising for an outdoor Gaga Ball Pit for the playground. We appreciate the support of all Polaris parents, caregivers, families and friends, the Polaris admin and staff, as well as our surrounding community members.
