Our School Council is proud to announce Rosedale Heights Public School’s Winter Wonderland Fundraiser. Your child will be coming home today with a fundraising envelope for this year’s fundraising effort.  Make no mistake –our school’s commitment to fundraising supports our students.  Fundraising enables us to do great things at our school and there’s no question –we do need your support. 

With fundraising proceeds from last year we:

• purchased 60 new Chromebooks;
• organized numerous special community events including Bingo Night and our End-of-Year Community Par-Tay at no cost to families;
• purchased indoor recess activities for classes;
• funded many, many school enhancements for students including ‘Beach Day’, Jeopardy, pumpkin decorating and various cultural activities, and;
• subsidized the cost of our grade 8 graduation.

We only formally fundraise once throughout the year –and this is it.  We need your help. Among other things, we are looking to raise funds for technology items (we would like to invest additionally in refreshing our Chromebooks and iPads), outdoor play kits for each classroom, additional athletic supplies, subsidies for supplemental learning opportunities for students, and many other program enhancements for students from extracurricular activities through Grade 8 Graduation.

Your contributions make a genuine difference directly for our students!

With Winter arriving with colder temperatures, we are looking to celebrate what is joyful about the season.  Following our return from March Break, students will have a chance to participate in a variety of activities culminating in a Winter Wonderland celebration on the very last day of Winter, March 19^th 2024.  Our goal this year is for every student to raise a minimum of $25 in donations.  Tax receipts will be issued for individual cash or cheque donations of $25 or more.  Donations may be collected from family members, extended family members or friends; no door-to-door solicitation is permitted.  Students who contribute will also be have opportunities to participate in a prize giveaway … the more money the student raises, the more chances to win!  (In the interest of maximizing the number of winners, students are limited to winning only one prize each.)

But in this fundraiser, everyone is a winner because all the money raised goes to support the very best cause of all, our students. 

Please help the school and submit all cash and/or cheques inside your child’s Winter Wonderland donation envelope by Monday, February 26^th, 2024.  (Please note, donations can also be made on SchoolCash Online.  Instructions for doing so can be found here.  Under the ‘Message to the School Board’ section, please include your child’s name and teacher.  Donations made online are subject to a 3% online fee.) 

We thank each and every Rosedale Heights P.S. family for their generous support of the school and for helping us meet our fundraising goals this year!
