  • Please note that there is a live countdown to Store Completion, which ends Friday May 23, 2025 at 11:59pm EST, which should land the products in Ottawa for Wednesday June 18, 2025. Once the store is completed, we will be unable to receive any additional orders until a new campaign begins.

DONATE A TOQUE OR CAP!

Year after year we are able to keep many kids’ heads warm and show that AV Spirit at the same time! What a great way to help out our School Community by purchasing a toque or cap to donate to a child in our school. You can choose this option on the E-store Link.

Organized by a dedicated group of parent volunteers, the Spring Fair is also the largest fundraising event of the year. If you would like to be involved, we are looking for:

  • Volunteers: Pick from a variety of shifts (e.g., set up, ticket selling, games and food help) and still have plenty of time to enjoy the fair with your family. We can’t run this event without lots of volunteers!
  • Donations: Calling all bakers and gardeners!  Looking for cakes and cupcakes for kiddos to win and yummy treats and plants to sell.
  • Silent Auction items: Own your own local business? Have gift cards rattling around in a drawer? Unwanted gifts still in the box? Consider donating items to our silent auction.

Funds raised are used to enhance the learning experience of all students at Alta Vista.  So join us on May 24, for what is shaping up to be another great event!

Please contact sc-altavistaps@ocdsb.ca if you have any questions.
