Forest Hills Home & School Association Fundraiser

Dear Family,

The Forest Hills Home and School Association is currently fundraising to purchase Smart Boards for our school. Smart Boards are interactive whiteboards used with computers and projectors. They allow students to move around words, answer questions, and make notes that can be saved for a future lesson.

We are selling tickets on a $500 Canadian Tire Gift card. The tickets are $2 each or 3 for $5. The Gift card will be drawn October 30th. We are also hoping to spark a little friendly competition by offering a $100 Canadian Tire Gift Card to the student who sells the most tickets. In addition every child who sells any tickets will have their name put in for a draw for 1 of 3 $50 Canadian Tire Gift Cards.

Every student will receive 1 book of 10 tickets to bring home. Please fill out the section below and return it to your child’s home room teacher. All monies and unused tickets should also be returned to their teacher. Additional tickets can be provided up until October 29th by contacting the Forest Hills Home and School Association.
