Hi! I’m Guillermo, and I have two daughters in the French Immersion program, one in 3rd grade and the other in 6th. It has been a joy to support our kids and school, and I look forward to continuing to contribute to our wonderful community. What I love most about Brantford is its spirit of inclusion, respect, and multiculturalism, which enriches us all. Outside of school, I can usually be found on a soccer field, exploring new technology, or relaxing with a good video game.

I started helping with the PAC when my child started in the French Immersion program. This year I will largely be supporting hot lunch, MunchaLunch and also acting as Treasurer. I’ve met a lot of fun and kind people volunteering over the years and hope my contribution here can return some of that fun and kindness in our school community!

I’m Heather and my kiddos are in French Immersion, Grades 4 and 2. I started volunteering around Brantford when my oldest started Kindergarten. It has been great getting to be involved in the community and my kids love seeing me around the school when I am there, which is a great added bonus. I am excited to be getting more involved by being the PAC secretary. Looking forward to getting to know more of the families at Brantford through PAC.

Hi! My name is Parm. As a Brantford parent for the last 10 years, I have volunteered countless hours to our beloved school, and am excited to be joining PAC for a third year. My two eldest girls are Brantford alumni, with 1 more kid following next year. I look forward to helping make Brantford a fun and cool place to learn. It’s a challenging mission, balancing fresh and innovative ideas with cherished traditions, but I know the incredible parents that make up the PAC are up for the challenge. Together, with your support, I’m confident that the upcoming year will be nothing short of amazing.

Hello, my name is Peiling, and I have a daughter in Grade 2. As a newcomer to Canada, I was unfamiliar with the school system when my daughter started kindergarten, and I was always grateful for the kindness and support shown by the PAC executives whenever I had questions. Through volunteering, I have enjoyed getting more involved in the school community, meeting other parents, and setting a positive example for our children by giving back. I also enjoy hiking with my family, and in my spare time, I love baking and making soap. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside such caring and dedicated parents this coming year.

That tall blond guy stopping traffic every morning at the Brantford Ave crosswalk? That’s me, Morten. I have a son in fifth grade French Immersion. In our PAC, I serve as Brantford’s voice at the district level as the DPAC representative, and aim to keep our community better informed about key developments and decisions affecting all schools in the city.
