PTO
Welcome to the PAC
Welcome! We are the Parent Advisory Council (PAC). Throughout the year, Chesterbrook Academy West Chester holds events and fundraisers in support of the students, teachers, and parents. We support many aspects of these events and are a great asset to our school. Membership is free to all parents and involvement is a great way to meet other families in our community! Our mission is to support families, foster a sense of community, appreciate our dedicated teachers, and provide additional student programs.
PAC meetings are held monthly on Tuesday evenings from 6pm to 7pm, via Zoom. During the meeting, we plan events, discuss volunteer opportunities, and review the results of prior events. Below are just a few of the many fundraising events and activities that the PAC hosts during the school year. You can find out more information about these events by attending our monthly meeting or sending an email to cbapacpresident@gmail.com.

Bring your family out to enjoy a meal with other Chesterbrook Academy families. Past locations have included Applebee’s, Chick-Fil-A, Red Robin, Ram’s Head, and more! Each of these restaurants donate a percentage of your order back to the PAC.
This is our largest event and fundraiser of the year and every child wins a prize! Each class selects a theme and creates a classroom raffle basket. Parents, teachers, and businesses donate items for the raffle and/or silent auction. Raffle prizes in the past have included being Principal for the day, Lego baskets, and gift cards. The Silent Auction has featured sports tickets, an iPad Mini, gym equipment, an island vacation, and much more.
Come by the school and take advantage of huge savings on your child’s uniform needs. Purchases are on a first come, first serve basis. Inventory moves quickly. This is an ongoing event that will continue throughout the year.
Collecting Box Tops has gone digital! Simply scan and earn. Each digital Box Top label is worth 10 cents and they add up fast. Each year, the PAC runs a competition among each of the classrooms and offers prizes to the individual or class who collects the most. Prizes have ranged from a gift card to a classroom party.
