March 2010 School Council Newsletter Dance-A-Thon Fundraiser Thank You for Another Successful Year ! Council would like to thank our school community for the fantastic support for our second major fundraiser this year. On February 16th our students (and some staff !) danced their hearts out to raise $4281.88 for our school. Thank you to the teachers and students who also made some fantastic Mardi Gras masks that contributed to the fun. We also appreciate all the volunteers who gave of their time to help out, especially Karen V. who helped with cookies, water and prizes all day long. A special round of applause is in order for No Frills for their generous donation of cookies for our hungry participants! Thank you Mike’s No Frills !! (Derry and McLaughlin). The money raised stays in our school to purchase much need classroom supplies to help support our Literacy and Numeracy focus. Details will be available in an upcoming council newsletter.
