Donations

The Covid-19 Pandemic has been - and continues to be - a challenging and difficult time affecting many lives. Our schools are no different. From parents, teachers, school administrators and our children, we all had to react, pivot, and adapt to new policies and practices outside of the typical norms and daily programming of our precious Schools.

There is hope that this school year will be different. Unlike last year, when fundraising came to a halt, fundraising activities are resuming this year. We are excited to offer virtual fundraising initiatives for our community because we understand the importance of engaging with our families, but also because it is a necessity.

In 2020, pre-Covid 19, Parent Council was managing a $47,000 budget. Today, we only have about $3,000 remaining.

You may or may not know this, but almost half of the school’s total budget comes from Parent fundraising. The IXL supplementary math program offered to all classes is 100% funded by Parent Council at a cost of $2,300. Prior classroom experiences (such as Scientist in the classroom, Earth Rangers) are fully funded by Parents, and previous outside classroom excursions were subsidized by Parent Council to ensure that every student could participate without financial hardship.

To continue to provide these experiences for our kids we are asking parents and guardians to consider making a small donation directly to the School Council. Donations will not go to any one activity but will help ensure that we are able to offer all the programs we have come to enjoy.

Please consider donating if you are able. We also encourage families to consider donating on behalf of another Cameron family who may not be in a position to contribute at this time. While we recommend a $25 donation, any amount will make a difference to our school community.

Please visit link.cameronps.ca/donate. This link may be shared with family and friends – a School Cash Online login is not required. Donations of any amount are eligible for a tax receipt for income tax purposes.
