THE DIRECT DONATION CAMPAIGN IS ON!
PLEASE SUPPORT ENRICHMENT AT RUNNYMEDE
We’re excited to launch ourannual Direct Donation Campaign! 🎉
This fundraising effort, led by Runnymede’s parent-run Home & School Association (HSA), directly supports the special activities and enrichment programming that make the Runnymede school experience unforgettable — from art and science workshops, to outdoor athletic activities.
The Direct Donation Campaign gives families the option to donate one time, rather than participating in multiple smaller fundraisers. Similar to a Student Activity Fee at some schools, Runnymede families are invited to make a tax-deductible donation each Fall to support of our children’s education and enrichment.
Thanks to your donations and involvement last school year, we were able to provide teachers with additional resources, fund classroom activities and offer a wide range of enrichment opportunities!

All Runnymede families are welcome to come out and join in this great RPS tradition!
Fall Yard is a fun, school-based “community clean-up” morning where the whole family can weed and tidy the nature garden and outdoor classrooms at the school. We’ll collect litter, trim invasive plants and weeds, sweep and tidy.
Apple peeling, and a nature craft will be set up in the Adventure Yard (rear of school).
Please bring some nut-free baking snacks to share if you can, and we’ll have coffee for the grown ups! Stop by for an hour to help out, or come for the whole morning!
THE GREAT GEAR SWAP is also a new tradition at yard day, to help reuse grown-out-of sports equipment in our community. Drop off any items you want to donate (outside the main office or bring it day-of) and pick up something new for your little one!
Think skates, baseball gloves, soccer cleats – no bikes!)
There are some tasks that need to be done in the week leading up to Yard Day, as well as on Yard Day itself. We would love your help! Fall Yard Day Volunteer Sign-up
Thank you in advance for helping run this important community event!

NEW!! WEDNESDAY HOT LUNCH – STARTING OCT 1
Starting October 1st, the Runnymede HSA is partnering with local restaurant, Grillway, to bring our students and staff a second day of hot lunches each week, on Wednesdays.
This means more variety and delicious options for the kids and less lunch packing for us, while supporting a great local business.
Orders must be in by Monday at noon for each week.
First order is for Wednesday October 1st – Reminder that it’s also the cross country meet that day, so if your child is participating in that, please don’t place an order for that day as they likely won’t be at school for lunch.
Order now! https://www.hotlunchrunnymede.ca/
