​School Council our Partners in Education

Isabel Campbell is proud to have an active School Council which meets on the second Wednesday of each month. This council has been instrumental in providing services which improve the climate in the school. Some of their endeavors have resulted in a winter warm up project which provides students without proper winter tuques and mittens the opportunity to take or borrow what is needed. They have also been running a school wide nutrition program which provides apples to anyone in our school community who may be hungry. 

​Meets the second Wednesday of every month at 7:00 p.m.
