Every year the Parent Advisory Council sponsors the Christmas Fair.

All proceeds are used to fund items in the school that provide direct benefits to your child (books,field trips,computer programs,emergency supplies, etc).

The success of the fair depends upon you, the parents and guardians of the children in the school.
If you are unavailable to assist on the night of the fair there are plenty of things to do in preparation for the big night. For example, baking, making crafts, providing emporium or auction donations. As well, set up before and clean up afterwards are also areas in which we need lots of help.All volunteers are welcome, such as older siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents etc.

A huge

thank you

in advance for your participation in helping make this event not only successful but loads of fun for all our kids!

Sign-up for a shift at the Fair!
Sign-up sheets will be available in the front office hallway.
