Fundraising
PAC Bottle Drive
Families can drop off bottles at the depot, with extra collection opportunities during Hot Lunch and special events. Proceeds support students and school programs.
1. What is this about?
Panorama Heights PAC is running a year-long bottle drive to help support school enrichment, student activities and experiences, and other PAC-supported school programs and priorities.
Our goal is to raise $4,000 this school year.
Every contribution helps. Small returns from many families can add up to meaningful support for our students and school community.

4. How can families help us reach the goal?
It does not take much when we all participate. If families return around two dozen containers each month, those small contributions can add up quickly across our school community.
Our collective goal is $4,000 for the school year, with funds helping support enrichment activities, student experiences, and PAC-supported school priorities and upgrades. There is no required amount to contribute; every can, bottle, and container helps.
