The Treherne Elementary School Advisory Council (referred to as TESAC) is a non-profit organization that was formed in the fall of 1998. The council is a community organization dedicated to the education and the well-being of the child. The primary mandate is to promote the effective communication among the school, home and the community.
The TESAC governing body consists of nine executive members: a chairperson, a vice-chairperson, a secretary, a treasurer as well as five other voting members. The present executive positions are as follows:
Lesley Earle – President
Judy Henry – Secretary
Sherri Earle-Hird – Treasurer
Michelle Hoger – Prairie Spirit School Division Trustee
Penny Lee – Principal
Leslie Rheault – Teacher Rep.
The TESAC mandate is to review, discuss, and make recommendations to the school staff and administration on:
TESAC’s past projects for our school include: promoting school spirit by purchasing a banner with a new tiger logo and ordering school clothing with same tiger; applying to the Tiger Hills & Area Community Foundation to purchase cordless microphones and new stage curtains; sponsoring the babysitting course; resurfacing the tarmac; paying a portion of new pea gravel under the play-structure, serving apple cider at the Christmas concert, lemonade at the spring concert and treating staff for Staff Appreciation Week; purchasing barbecues; and organizing “Bring Your Own Bowl” hot lunches.
TESAC also actively participates in developing the annual school action plan. The council also sponsors informational meetings for parents on a variety of topics (eg. Drinking and drugs).
TESAC is an organization that is run entirely by volunteers. Membership in the organization is open to all parents/ guardians of children attending Treherne Elementary School, along with any community members and staff of the school that are willing to volunteer for the council.
