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:
- Supported our Angel Fund, providing funds for any extra school costs like field trips, for anyone that needs it
- Provided apples for the Big Crunch
- Supported classroom activities with a budget for each teacher
- Supported student activities with a budget for class experiences
- Hosted a Mad Science presentation for students
|
- Hosted a mobile planetarium visit for students
- Hosted a math workshop for parents and caregivers
- Hosted an early literacy workshop for parents and caregivers
- Hosted an author visit for the Lunar New Year
- Hosted a family movie night

Fundraising Activities
Council organizes special events, lunch programs and partnerships with retailers where a portion of sales come back to the school. Here are a few planned so far for this school year.
Pizza Lunches: Council is hosting Pizza Lunches (Cheese or Pepperoni, with gluten and dairy free options, 1-3 slices, $2.75/slice) every other Friday starting October 18, 2023. Parents receive an email from School Cash Online when items are available to purchase. Note: parents need to make one bulk purchase for the school year at the time of purchase. If your student is absent on a pizza lunch day, there will be no refunds.
Retailer Partnerships
The Lunch Lady: A hot lunch program will be available to purchase for students every Tuesday and Thursday at SAB starting on Tuesday, September 17. $0.25/meal sold comes back to our school.
Mabel’s Labels: Visit campaigns.mabelslabels.com, click the "Support a Fundraiser" button at the top right of the website and select Sir Adam Beck. 20% of sales come back to our school.
