2006-2007 – A productive school year

The 2006-2007 school year proved to be very productive and rewarding for the Clemens Mill Public School council. Meetings were held on the third Wednesday of each month, where school council tackled a number of school-related issues and opportunities. The meetings were, of course, open to all and encouraged input from parents and other members of the community.

Key achievements included the development, delivery and/or support of:
- Special lunches
- Tuck shop
- Turn off TV week
- Guest speakers, presentations, concerts and resources
- Computer network access for classrooms
- AV equipment and safety equipment
- Playground contribution
- School website

A number of fundraising programs allowed us to do so much in 2006-2007. These were:
- Magazines
- Move-A-Thon
- Craft sales
- Zehrs Save-A-Tape

Of course, all of the funds were managed in accordance with Waterloo Region District School Board policies. Minutes of meetings held and financial records are also available at the school office.

Thank you for your continued support
We wish to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the many individuals who volunteered their time to contribute to the success of the school council last year. We hope many of you will participate in the 2007-2008 school council and attend the upcoming school council elections. Again, school council provides a terrific means of getting involved in school activities, having fun working with parents from our community, and making a difference!
