Dear Madonna Families.
As you have a child registered with Madonna Catholic School you are automatically a part of our school council. We are presently in need of some volunteers to sit on the Executive Council to help run the school council.
We are looking to fill 3 positions. Our Chair of the past three years, Kerstin Adamson has stepped down, Vice-Chair, Sheana Aronyk, and Nicole Howes our Secretary are stepping down, and we urgently need replacements to keep our School Council running. The roles are not challenging and Kerstin will provide support for a smooth transition. ASCA (Alberta School Councils’ Association) also offers courses to help you succeed.
School Council Chair Roles and Responsibilities:
- Chair all meetings of the school council, and create the agenda for meetings
- Be the official spokesperson of the school council
- Help plan fundraisers
- Comply with the School Councils Regulation by providing the school board with an annual report
that summarizes the school council's activities for the previous school year, including a financial
statement relating to money (Financial Statement done by our Treasurer).
School Councils are mandated under the Education Act, and without these roles filled, many important events and funding could be at risk such as Hot Lunch, Hot Dog Day, Family Games Night, Teacher Appreciation and funding for school activities.
Our AGM (Annual General Meeting) is in April where we would encourage you all to attend as we will be voting in these positions. If you're interested or have questions, please contact us at Madonnasces@gmail.com. Please consider stepping up to help us continue supporting our school community!
We need your help to keep Madonna Catholic School a special place for our students and staff!
Thank you and God Bless,
Madonna Catholic School Council
