School Council’s goal is to help the school in enriching your child’s education.  How we do this is by raising money at our fundraisers to fund items not covered by the school budget.  We’ve listened to what you have to say and this year we plan to note our initiatives on each Fundraising information sheet sent home, so it is clear to you, why we are trying to raise the money.  

MEETING DATES

Next Meeting is to be announced - 5:45-6:45 p.m. - all families are welcome!
