Most of the money that was raised by Council Fundraising was predominantly from Direct Donation.

In years past, we did many smaller events, campaigns, sales and drives however : many parent volunteer hours were necessary to run all the events to make these fundraisers happen, and parents felt overwhelmed by too many different fundraising events. The decision to move to a main Direct Donation was made, while still retaining the larger activities that made school fun, like pizza lunches, movie nights and more!
