The Broomfield Academy Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is an independent non-profit service organization. All Broomfield Academy parents and staff are PAC members. The mission of PAC is to raise funds and hold events throughout the year that enrich the Broomfield Academy student experience.

The PAC aims to help Broomfield Academy offer the best possible educational experience for students by raising funds in areas of need. In the past PAC has successfully provided:

• New computers for the computer lab and for each classroom
• Character assemblies: Beth Epley Character Education and
  Imagination Makers
• Theatre Character Education Performances
• Financial support for additional programs and services in each
  classroom
• Teacher Appreciation Events and Gifts
• Halloween "Trunk or Treat" party and games
• Special Friday Family Fun Night Events

Gifts to PAC are tax deductible. When giving a gift to PAC you may request an acknowledgment letter that contains the 501(c)(3) information for the purposes of tax deduction. We appreciate your donations!

Each gift received by the PAC, regardless of the amount, makes a difference at Broomfield Academy. The simplest way to give is to write a check payable to the PAC. You can pledge money over time and spread out your donations over a year. Or, if you prefer, you can volunteer your time to help with PAC's various events and planned activities throughout the year. PAC appreciates your contributions and uses 100% of all donations to provide for the students at Broomfield Academy. Some employers will even match your charitable gifts to PAC. Check with your HR department. It's a win-win!

Gifts of equipment, supplies or other material may also be made. Gifts may need to be verified by PAC for appropriateness or need, so, if you have questions about a need or specific donation, contact PAC for more information. PAC has identified several specific school needs, ranging from equipment and supplies to capital expenditure support for major campus initiatives and facilities. Past examples of targeted gifts range from new computers for the school to particular library book volumes and materials. Contact PAC for more information about how your giving can be matched with the most appropriate need.

Meeting announcements will appear in the Friday school newsletter and via email. PAC meetings are a great way to learn more about PAC-sponsored events and fundraising efforts. You are invited to attend PAC meetings and give your opinions and ideas. Or, to volunteer.

  auctions, Box Tops for Education, and other "night out"
  opportunities.
• Coordinates and funds enrichment events.  Currently these
  include the Beth Epley programs, teacher enhancement grants,
  and teacher appreciation week (held in May of each year).
• PAC active members donate their time, talents or resources for
  the good of the school and the students.  PAC members can give
  input on PAC events, fundraising efforts and decisions on how to
  spend PAC funds.  If you are interested in learning how you can
  help, please email PAC. There are a variety of roles available that
  can fit into any schedule.

What PAC does not do:
• PAC does not advise on curriculum for the school or individual
  classrooms.
• PAC does not act as a Board of Directors or direct the school
  strategically.
• PAC does not serve as a venue for any grievances.
• PAC does not serve as an accountability task force.

The most important thing to know is that active PAC parents learn more about the school, get to work with many great staff members and families, enjoy watching their children make the most of their education, and have fun!
