Fundraising
One of Council’s main activities is fundraising to support meaningful resources for students that might not be covered through the school budget. This includes extra technology, funding for teachers to use in classrooms, extracurricular activities, such as Scientists in School, parent workshops and sports equipment, to name just a few. Based on needs identified, the Council will vote on how the funds will be budgeted and spent throughout the school year.
Council typically raises money through active and passive fundraising, which allows you to shop for products or services with a portion of proceeds coming back to the school.
Last year Council was able to support the following:
Leveled reading books for each classrooms
|
Classroom fund for field trip busses or in-class experiences
|
Author visit for literacy week
|
|
|
Jungle sport mobile climbing gym
|
Courier bags and golden award gift cards
