Throughout the school year, our HSA (aka Parent Council) volunteers on the Fun & Fundraising Committee organize events and activities to raise money to support enriched programming for Runnymede students.
- Our music, drama, arts and athletics offerings are not standard issue within the TDSB – they require additional funding and an extremely committed group of teachers, staff and parents.
- Our outdoor classrooms, our resident Green Teacher, the Kinder-Garden, our bi-annual Yard Days and our Eco-School status, are all unique within the TDSB – these, too, require funding and volunteer time.
- Our teachers at Runnymede each received approximately $500 each year to spend on enriching their class or classroom – again, this is not true of all schools in the TDSB!
- Given Runnymede’s socio-economic ranking, we are not a priority to receive funds from the TDSB for technology so money raised by the HSA has contributed towards technology purchases.
These are a but a few of the items that the HSA / Parent Council has allocated funds to in recent years – with the objective of spending on projects which collectively, over the long term, benefit the largest number of students. All enrichment activities and fundraising are run by the Runnymede HSA!
