The Runnymede Direct Donation campaignraised $43 690!!
Click to hear how some of the money is used via the Teacher Resource Fund (TRF) directly from Runnymede teachers (which is funded by the Direct Donation campaign!)
YOU CAN STILL MAKE A TAX DEDUCTIBLE DIRECT DONATION TO RUNNYMEDE ANYTIME!
Runnymede’s HSA (a.k.a. Parent Council) keeps the donation link open for donations at any time, but we run the official campaign early in the year, so we know the budget we will have to use towards enrichment programs in our school and classrooms!

RUNNYMEDE’S OUTDOOR CLASSROOM IS NOW IN SESSION!
The HSA / Parent council’s Green Teacher Program takes place in our very own Nature Garden.
The program is paid for by funds donated to the HSA, and it gets kids outside and exploring all that our wonderful hillside garden has to offer!
This is our first time running Green Teacher in the fall for our kindergarten students, and we’re thrilled to invite them into our space to learn about how they can be good stewards of the Nature Garden and all the wonderful changes we as the season shifts to fall. We’ll introduce them to concepts like staying on the pathways to protect our hillside, why littering is so bad for the environment, how to be kind to our plants and trees, and much more.
Grade 2’s will be learning about food, water, air, and shelter in the Garden, and Grade 4’s will learn about producers (plants) and how they harness and store energy from the sun. Both programs will incorporate the concept of stewardship and taking care of the garden.
Finally, the grade 6’s are heading to High Park for a heart-thumping, adventure-packed game of survival. Winner takes all in this live-action game where wily predators face off against stealthy herbivores and resources are scarce…who will come back alive and make it through to the winter season?!?
Big thanks to our volunteer HSA GREEN COMMITTEE for working with teachers, staff and Admin to make these wonderful experiences happen for our kids at Runnymede!
