2019 – 2020

We loved the chance to hang out in the primary playground on the first day of school, fueled by Laughing Bean coffee, Pine House baked goods, and produce from Donald’s Market. The Hastings: Day One party was an opportunity to extend a heartfelt welcome to families new to Hastings, as well as all our returning families, teachers, and staff members.

The event was funded by a grant from the Hastings North Community Partners Group, as well as Hastings PAC. We hope to make this welcome party an annual event!

2018 – 2019

Hastings PAC launched the inaugural Direct Donation campaign last year. It came in response to parents who say they don’t necessarily have the time or opportunity to participate in PAC events, but still want to show their support by simply providing funds.

Last year’s campaign raised $8,200 from parents, with school administration generously topping up the amount to $15,000 in total. These funds are being used to support various STEM initiatives, where the specific classroom needs were directed by teachers at Hastings.
