Support the SKT Playground Project!

The SKT School Council is working to improve the school yard by installing a new play structure geared for the Junior students, grade 4-6.  Currently there is only one small play structure in the yard that is designated for K-3 students but as our school population grows, we have identified the need for the Junior students to have their own structure. 

We are calling on students and parents to help up in our endeavor!

Council has raised over $8,000 to date for the project but we have a long way to go to reach our goal of $35,000.  Our plan is to tap into as many community grant and sponsorship resources as we can.  If you are able to help with this in anyway please contact Crystal Soames at soames@rogers.com.  You can keep up to date with our progress by visiting the SKT School Council Facebook page or Website .

Show your support and VOTE, it’s FREE!

SKT School Council has entered a contest supported by Aviva Insurance to fund community projects from across Canada.  All we have to do is get the most votes!  To qualify for the semi-finals we we need to be a top 10 entry in the qualifying round.  Once in the semi-finals, the votes are re-set and we begin again.  The top 10 entries qualify for the finals and are awarded $5,000! Aviva then chooses the winners to receive up to $50,000! We could win the entire cost of our project!!!

It’s that easy! All you have to do is:

1. Register TODAY to vote at www.avivacommunityfund.org/users/registration/register or through Facebook at Facebook.com/AvivaCommunityFund
2. Vote! Everyone gets 15 votes (one per day) so visit the site often and vote!!! Our entry can be  found at www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf18345
3. Encourage EVERYONE you know to register and vote!  Anyone in Canada can vote!

Voting begins TODAY Oct 21 and goes through until Nov 4.

Vote everyday to use up all of your 15 votes!

Our goal is to obtain 12000 votes! To do this every student must get 45 votes! You can do this by asking everyone you know to vote once or 3 people to vote everyday!

Strategies to get the most Votes!

1. 1.  Call or email friends and family TODAY and ask them vote!  Send them the link to our project.
2. 2.  Parents can post the link on Facebook to spread the word. Write a post everyday to remind people to vote.
3. 3.  Parents can ask coworkers to join in the voting.
