April 2023 - Urban Roots PAC Fundraiser

 

Mark your calendars for April! Urban Roots PAC Fundraiser 

During the month of April, all Urban Roots pop-up garden center locations will be offering 10% back to our PAC on every in-store pre-tax purchase made by Dickens families and friends. Just mention Charles Dickens Elementary at checkout!
 
Locations across the Lower Mainland will open the week of April 1st. 
There are two locations in Vancouver: East Hastings - PNE and Kitsilano

This is a great way to support our school and a growing BC business that provides communities with a local nursery experience.

Thank You, re: Fam Jam - Family Music Night

An enormous thank you to Mike and Char for hosting another fabulous Fam Jam evening on Thursday, March 8th!


Together with Mike Jackson and Char Hunter, we would like to thank the families and staff who attended the event for all their support, and thanks to the many parents & kids who shared their amazing musical talents with us as well! 

There were 150 guests in total - the largest family music night gathering we've yet had! It was wonderful to also have Dickens music teacher, Eric, contribute with a solo act, and to have him lead students in a sing and play-a-long too. 

We’d also like to extend our thanks to Vira Jackson for creating a magical atmosphere in the gym with the bunting and lighting, and to the students who helped collect the donations, and with the setting-up of chairs and tearing down too. 

Donations collected:
Two boxes filled with about 50 food items were given to the Grandview Woodland Food Connection. In addition, $385 was raised for the school’s music program.

We greatly appreciate your generous support, and look forward to seeing you again at our next fun-filled Fam Jam! 

* Here are a few pics from Vira of some of the adults who performed. We're not able to share photos of the kids, if they can clearly be identified, as we would have to obtain permission.
