Volunteer at Fall Fest!
Great events need great volunteers. Areas of need include set-up/clean-up, running stations, BBQing, and food distribution. Please email council@wilkinsonps.org if you are able to help out. Interested in selling homemade crafts and items? Fill out a community vendor application by October 11.
Donate Gently Used Halloween Costumes, Winter Gear, Books, Puzzles and Games
Give your clean and gently used Halloween costumes and winter gear (coats, snow pants, hats/mitts/gloves/scarves) a second life by donating them to our free swap tables. We’re also looking for donations of gently used books, puzzles and games (board games, card games, video games) for our sale tables to raise money for student programs. All items must be in good working order, and not missing any pages or pieces.
Drop off your items between 8:45 – 9:30 a.m. at the school’s main entrance on the following dates:
- Wednesday, October 4
- Thursday, October 5
- Wednesday, October 11
- Thursday, October 12
If you’re unable to get to the school, Dandylion is also accepting these donations between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday-Friday. Please use the buzzer at the Annex building and leave the items in the Fall Fair box just inside the building (please do not leave items at the daycare entrance).
Bake Sale at Fall Fest
Yum! Need we say more? Drop-off on October 14 from 10:15 to 10:45 a.m. in the schoolyard. Please make sure that all items are NUT-FREE and note that we cannot sell purchased items that “may contain traces of nuts”.
Please indicate if your item is Halal*, vegan, gluten free, or if it satisfies another dietary requirement. If you’d like your container returned to you, please label it and pick it up from the bake sale table on your way home.
*Halal items should not contain vanilla extract (unless marked “alcohol-free”), gelatin (a common ingredient in marshmallows), rainbow sprinkles, or lard. Lecithin should be vegetarian, such as soya lecithin. Both butter and margarine are Halal. Please see the list of Halal ingredients (items marked Halal on the list are safe to eat – the other items should be avoided).
Wilkinson is proud to be a Platinum EcoSchool. Help us help the environment by bringing along a reusable cup to hold your drinks, a reusable container to hold your food purchases, and a tote bag to carry your goodies.
Food Drive Donations
We’re collecting donations for Eastview Community Neighbourhood Centre. Please bring all donations to the food drive area at Fall Fest. Donations earn an entry into our prize raffle!
See you at Fall Fest on Saturday, October 14!
