- offset the cost of school excursions
- subsidize less fortunate students
- provide breakfast and break snack for students in need
- purchase instructional materials for special projects
- provide funds to enhance the climate at the school
- provide funds to support capital projects (larger initiatives)
The students at the school benefit significantly from fundraising initiatives. It is not, however, our intent to overburden the community. The following fundraising projects will support student activities at Hyland Heights in 2009/2010.
CHARITY FUNDRAISING
Each year Hyland Heights participates in a variety of charity fundraisers. We appreciate any funds that are raised by these events, but most importantly we try to build awareness, and instill a sense of community and compassion toward those less fortunate.
SCHOOL COUNCIL
Some examples of School
Council Fundraising include:
- Throughout the year the Parent Council will have Pizza Days. The proceeds from these sales will support Parent Council and school activities.
- M & M Meat Shops: One evening a year M & M Meats will donate a percentage of profits to Hyland Heights.
- Christmas Carol Evening—Basket Raffle—Information to follow.
Q.S.P. MAGAZINE SALES
During the month of October the school will be participating in a magazine initiative. This “food for the mind” fundraiser will support our Literacy Goals and support reading, as well as being a minor fundraising opportunity.
DANCE-A-THON
This year students will once again be involved in a school wide Dance or Boogie-A-Thon. Senior students will teach classes dances that will then be featured at the Dance-A-Thon. Details of this initiative will follow at a later date.
CHOCOLATE SALES
Grade 4 to 8 students will be selling chocolate products from World’s Finest Chocolate. Proceeds from sales will go directly back to individual students to support the cost of their trips.
