We believe strongly that School Council is about engaging and empowering the stakeholders of your child's education. We don't think fundraising activities and campaigns serve that purpose so we ask families for money once each year to cover all of the activities and events that School Council funds to enrich student experience and success.
This year, our campaign will accept contributions until October 15. Please donate through TDSB School Cash Online.
Our suggested contributions are $25, $50, or $100, but we appreciate whatever you can give. Every gift makes a difference!
What we do:
The School Council’s two roles are to improve student achievement and enhance the accountability of the education system. We ask parents to contribute time and/or money to help our kids have the best educational experience they can. None of this is possible without your support & help! Below are some of the things we do. With the changes that COVID is bringing, we will be looking for new ways to support our kids this year!
