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
