Alta Vista School Council

Dear AVPS community,

This school year School Council provided almost $10,000 in funding but was only able to raise less than $500 due to COVID restrictions. Please help us bridge the gap.

From June 9-19, we are inviting you to make a donation to your School Council, so that we may continue to support learning enhancements next year and beyond.

Since September 2020, we have funded such requests as:

• Phys. Ed. equipment to keep students active within COVID protocols;
• more diverse books for classrooms and the school library;
• board games, sleds and snow toys for our youngest students;
• learning enhancements for Black History Month and Asian and Pacific Islander History Month;
• a presentation from an Indigenous elder;
• a motivational speaker for our Intermediate students;
• extra supplies for science and art;
• equipment for an indoor curling workshop; and
• the list goes on.

Without funding from School Council, our students would miss out on special workshops and enriched learning opportunities. We are gratefully asking for any support you may be able to extend, recognizing with compassion that not all families are able to do so.

Donating couldn’t be easier – simply click here, and you’ll be taken to Sagoto Solutions, our online donation partner.

Thank you for your support. We are grateful. If you would like to know more about the work of School Council, all parents/guardians of the Alta Vista Public School community are welcome to attend our virtual monthly meetings. We invite you to read more about our meetings here.

Please note that this fundraiser will not be available beyond the 2022-23 school year.

We’ve chosen to be a part of the Plantables School Fundraising Program. School Council will receive 10% of the total of every order you place.

Plantables are an exciting new startup based in Forest, ON. They grow healthy, hardy and happy fruit and vegetable plants and ship them to arrive at your door exactly when they need to go into the ground.

All you have to do go is to plantables.ca/for/avpsplants, pick the garden-ready fruit and vegetable plants you want to grow, choose when you want them delivered, and wait for your box of garden-ready plants to arrive on your doorstep. You can share this with everyone you know!

We’re really excited to be launching a fundraiser that involves growing healthy fruits and veggies and spending time as a family, and we can’t wait to see how much we all can raise.

Thank you for all of your support!
