To ensure that the program meets the needs of families and the community, parents and teachers were involved in conceptualizing the program and in identifying topics about which they wanted to learn more. |
Supported by funding from the B.C. Ministry of Education, 2010 Legacies Now, community support, fundraising, and school districts and community agencies who provide release time for facilitators.
We would also like to thank the many families, colleagues and others who have collaborated with us in developing PALS over the years.
