More Fundraising

Those of you who would like more tickets to sell for the Caps 50/50 send in a note with the number of tickets you would like.  I would like to have Thursday as our printing day.   Does anyone know if we have another bagging groceries day.  I thought someone had booked in at Sobeys.  If you know the answer to that question please email me at kzgallant@edu.pe.ca

Three more fundraisers to add to our list.
1) Christmas Wreaths! You will all be receiving a note tomorrow night (check backpacks) about Christmas wreaths. 

2) Mark off January 20th as a musical evening.  Mario Robichaud and friends will be doing a concert to help support the trip.  More details to come later.

3) February 12th- B-I-N-G-O.  We have the St.Eleanors Lions Club booked in the afternoon for BINGO.  This will be discussed also a bit closer to the date.

Email list

Hi everyone!

I'm just compiling an email list to keep everyone informed about fundraising events.  Later on today I will be sending out a mass email with all the names I have received so far.  If you do not receive an email it means you're not on my list!  Send me an email at jxgalle@edu.pe.ca and I'll add you.  If you do receive an email, no need to respond! 

Have a great day,

Jennifer Gallé

50/50 Caps fundraiser

Here is a copy of the note that was sent home with students yesterday.  I would also like to add that the people buying the tickets do not have to be present at the game to win the money.  The numbers are posted online.

Dear parent(s) or Guardian(s);



It is hard to believe it is mid-November already. I hope everyone is checking the blog and your child’s backpacks for notices in regards to fund-raising events. Our latest fund-raiser will be a 50/50 draw at the Caps game on Sunday December 12^th. With this event students will be fund-raising independently, therefor, the more they sell the more profit to be made. Students are to pre-sell 50/50 tickets for the Caps game. Tickets are $10.00 and the pot starts at $4000.00. The students will make $4.70 from each $10.00. The slightly tricky part is that if you ask for 10 tickets, you are responsible for selling those 10 tickets. If you do not sell them all, you are responsible for purchasing them. We cannot return unsold tickets. With that said, we can ask for a small amount of tickets, sell them, then print more. This way we would not have extra tickets. There is no problem to print more tickets when we need them. I really think that this could be a great fund-raiser. If you are interested in this fund-raiser send in the form below immediately. We will be printing our first batch of tickets on Friday.
Mme Krista, Mme Jen, M. Robichaud


 

Congratulations to the bagging groceries group

Congrats to all of the Grade 6 students that bagged groceries at the Superstore on Nov 13th.  The students raised $ 1273.80.  Each student made almost $20.00 per hour they worked.  Great job everyone and a big thank you to Twila Arsenault for organizing the event and to the parents that volunteered to supervise.

Pancake Breakfast
Charmaine Thompson will be heading the pancake breakfast fundraiser at Superstore on Nov 27th.  Those interested in participating are to email.   charmainedemir@yahoo.ca
Volleyball Tournament

It was to be held at Elm Street on Nov 27th.  I am unsure of its status now.  Jennifer Vriends is in charge of this event and will be sending information home with students in regards to volunteering
Dance

I have two dates booked at Elm Street gym for dances after Christmas.  I will re-confirm this due to our recent mold issue. 

Indoor Flea Market
I have looked into having a flea market at the school.  This event would be in the spring.  This also will need to be re-confimed since it was to be held at Elm Street.

Long Overdue!!!

Sorry it has taken me awhile to get things organized.  Things were just starting to come together, I had booked our school gym for a few dances and booked a day for a flea market.  Then came the mold :(       On the brighter side there has been some parents that have started taking some initiative to get things going.  Mme Jen, M. Robichaud and I plan on taking on a supporting role to the fundraising.  We sent out an email to our fundraising committee about having a  parent take on the role as chair.  This person will be the contact person for booking events.  She will post it on the blog and support parents in their efforts to raise funds.  All finances will go through myself and/or our school Administrative Assistant, Carole Yeo.  We already have an account set up for this and have a spreadsheet for both fund-raising and payments.   Stacey Delaney has graciously taken on the role of chair.  Assissting her will be Angie Matheson. I will send along their contact information shortly as well as some events that parents have begun to plan.
