Craft Fair and Raffle Basket Fundraiser

Just a reminder that our Craft Fair will be Saturday, November 30th. Every year, our PAC puts together a gift basket raffle, and asks all families to please donate to the baskets. Although you may donate to any of the themed baskets, each division has been assigned to focus their donations on a particular basket.

Our basket this year is the ARTS AND CRAFTS BASKET. (I can't imagine how I ended up with that one... ;) ) Donations are due by November 1st.

  • Colouring books (child or adult)
  • Sketch books
  • Crayons, pencil crayons, markers
  • Paints and brushes
  • How-to books (crochet, draw, knit, etc.)
  • Gift certificate to an art class
  • Michael's gift card
  • Crafting supplies (pipe cleaners, felt, pompoms, etc.)
You can also donate to the other baskets if you prefer:
  • Christmas basket
  • Kitchen basket
  • Family/entertainment basket
  • Outdoors basket
  • Relaxation basket 
You may also choose to get together with some other families to donate a bigger item. For example, if you have children in Mme Boyd, Mme Léna, or Mme Karina's classes, you may choose to get together to donate a gift certificate to a spa for the relaxation basket. These quality items tend to encourage the purchase of raffle tickets, which in turn provide more money to the PAC, which in turn offers more money for the kids for cool things like field trips and guests and books and recess toys, etc. 

Thanks in advance for your kind generosity!
