PAC Committee Descriptions

The PAC is always on the lookout for volunteers to help in any way possible. Below is a list of the various committees that are active at North Street Elementary School.

Committee: Description:

Arts & Enrichment: Throughout the school year this committee arranges for in-school performances that are related to the curriculum and are age appropriate.

Book Fair In conjunction with Scholastic Publications, this committee holds an in-school book fair that provides a great selection of books for students to purchase. Each class is allotted separate times to select books. Volunteers are needed to set-up the displays, help students with their purchase, restock shelves, and break down the displays at the end of the book fair.
