The Yard Revitalization Project is an expensive, multi-year undertaking initiated by the School Council. Almost all of the funds for the Yard Revitalization Project must be raised by the Council with help from the parent community as the School Board provides a very small fraction of the required amount.
We therefore rely on your help for the project’s successful and
timely implementation!
The funds for the Yard Revitalization Project are being raised through a number of methods, such as School Council fundraising and direct donations from community members.
Fundraising
Alta Vista School Council regularly holds various fundraising events, such as the Holiday Bazaar, Welcome Barbeque, Movie Night, Spring Fair, Bottle Drive etc. All money raised goes to school improvements for our kids, including the Playground Revitalization Project. Don’t be shy and come out to support us! For more information on where your money goes, please visit the Events and Services tab or send us an email with your questions.
Donations
We are appealing to our parent community for direct donations, noting the following:
- All direct donations over $25 are eligible for a tax receipt issued by the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board and all donations will be mentioned on the Alta Vista School Council website (unless you wish to remain anonymous).
- Donations in the amount of $250 or more will be listed on a permanent plaque posted in Alta Vista Public School’s main hallway.
- Donations of $5,000 or more will be recognized by designating a bench in the yard in honour of the donor (engraved plate on the bench).
Donations can be made by cheque and submitted to homeroom teachers along with the filled out AVPS Donation Form.
We are also seeking sponsors. These are business donors of $250 or more who receive all the benefits of a donor, will be listed on our website with a graphic provided, and included in the school newsletter. We welcome sponsorship of family businesses, or if you have any suggestions on companies to consider for a sponsorship, please contact Marty at martycarr@sympatico.ca.
