Gifts of Giving – December 16

This AVPS community fundraiser gives students a chance to find affordable gifts for their loved ones and it’s the perfect chance for you to clear out some clutter or regift some special items!

On December 16, students will be invited to our pop-up store in the gym to choose two special gifts that our wonderful volunteers will then wrap! Every gift will cost just $2. All proceeds will be directed toward School Council outreach initiatives.

Toonie, loonie, and cash donations will be collected by teachers in the classrooms during the week of the event.

Donations Needed!

We will gratefully accept items in gently used or new condition — trinkets, costume jewellery, accessories, decorative items, toys, games, household items… Any item that could be a nice gift for a loved one of any age is appreciated! (NO clothing, books, or very heavy, or breakable items, please).

Gift bags and tissue paper donations are especially needed to keep special gifts a surprise!

Items can be placed in the donation box in the school lobby until December 13. 

Volunteers Needed!

We need helpers in the afternoon and evening on December 15 (set up) and during the day on December 16 (wrapping, assisting, and clean-up).  Please sign up here to help!

For more information, please contact Elizabeth Paradis.

Family Movie Night – Smallfoot

Alta Vista School Council is pleased to invite your family to our next Family Movie Night on Friday, December 2, 2022!

We’ll be showing Smallfoot, rated PG (1 hour 36 minutes). Doors and concession open at 5:30 pm, and the movie starts at 6 pm!

Admission is free! There will be hotdogs, goodies, and juice boxes for sale as a council fundraiser for the Grade 8 School Leaving Ceremony.

In order to keep this event as eco-friendly as we can, we’re encouraging families to bring their own reusable dishware for their movie night food and snacks. Families are encouraged to bring cups or water bottles that can be refilled in the kitchen: there will be none for sale.

Children are welcome to wear their PJs and bring blankets, pillows and stuffies to get comfy in the gym. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Volunteers needed!

As always, the movie night organizers are grateful for the support of parent volunteers to help make movie night events a success. Please sign up here, or contact Dean Blachford.

We welcome any bakers who’d like to contribute peanut and nut-free treats or snacks, which can be dropped off at the office on the day of the event.

Questions? Please contact Dean Blachford.

We hope to see you and your family there!
