Want to get involved, but not sure it you can commit the time?  Besides sitting on Parent Council, there are many ways you can help.

Item Donations:  The school can always find use for good used items.  Before you throw anything away, please check with the school to see if they can use it.

• Spare clothes come in handy when a child has gotten wet or muddy on the playground.  As well special items, like skates are needed as children sometimes forget their skates or do not have any.
• The Breakfast Program is another way you can help.  We accept food and cash donations.  Examples of food you can donate are: Bread (60% whole wheat), Jam, Cheese Whiz, Yogurt, Juice boxes, Fresh Fruit or fruit cups, Cheese Slices, Waffles and Syrup.
• Bag Lunch Program:  The school also offers a bag lunch program for children who forget or don't bring a lunch.  Items you can donate include: Cup-a-Soup/Noodle cups, Cheese & Cracker Snacks, Juice boxes, Fruit cups, and pudding. (When donating food, please remember that we are a Nut Free school.)
• Extra craft supplies are always welcome.

Occasional Volunteer: The school hosts many functions through-out the year.  Extra help is often needed on a one time basis.  Watch the school newsletter for upcoming events and volunteer if you have the time!

Fundraising:  Parent Council, the School and various classrooms fundraise for different causes/events. Supporting our fundraising efforts helps ALL the children.

Reading Program Visitor:  The School hosts an open house every Monday morning from 9:00 am to 9:30 am for the school-wide reading program.  Classes get to an entry in the monthly draw for each visitor (reader) who comes to their class each week. At the end of the month, the draw is held and everyone in the winning class gets to choose a prize from the treasure chest.  Showing up to help our children read or even just to read with them is a great way to help out whenever you can.  No commitment is necessary.

Classroom Helper:  Teachers always appreciate extra help whenever you can give it.

Scholastic Gift Certificates:  Gift certificates for your child's teacher enables them to purchase extra resources for the classroom.  Each purchase for the school also increases the school credit.  For more information on the purchasing program - ask your child's teacher.  Check it out - http://www.scholastic.ca
