Canadian Tire Money comes in many denominations and every little bit helps. We encourage you to ask your friends, family, neighbours and coworkers. The funds raised will be used to purchase items for our school and/or a bigger item to be raffled.
This fundraising is a way to help keep costs down for you, our parents and get items that are much needed for our students. We hope that we can count on you to help support your child and our school.
