SKT School Council Fundraiser

The SKT School Council chose Lamontagne for our fundraiser to raise funds for the school this year and it was a great success.  First off we would like to thank the ladies who were the leads in organizing and executing the fundraiser this year.  Their hard work with making sure the boxes of chocolate went out to each student and collecting and counting the money raised was no small venture –thank you ladies!!

We would also like to thank all the families that supported this fundraiser!  Your support helps the school in many positive ways as this funding enriches your child’s experience at school.  This is the only fundraiser for School Council this year. 

The fundraiser this year raised just over $ 6,500.00.  This money provides those “extras” such as subsidising house t-shirts, digital cameras (for teachers to document what goes on at school), IPad protectors to protect the school’s investment, teacher’s supplies, playground and outdoor toy upgrades, and so many other items that all the students can enjoy.

If you are curious to see how council spends the money, please feel free to contact us, or go to the school council website for more information.

Mabel’s Labels

If you want to ensure that your child’s belongings will always be returned to you, why not invest in some Mabel’s Labels to label all items that go to school.  Please visit campaigns.mabelslabels.com and search for "St. Kateri Tekakwitha" to place your order.

How YOU Can Support Council!

We understand that all families are quite busy and may not be able to commit to coming out to all of the council meetings, but there are other opportunities to get involved such as volunteering for specific events or providing feedback on any of our initiatives. 

Our council meetings and all of our committees: social/volunteer, play structure, fundraising, communications and fun fair are open to any parent/guardian that is interested in helping out.

Please contact us if you have any questions or want to learn more about how you can get involved!

Help in any form is always welcomed!!

Cheers from Your School Council
