One of the School Council’s (SAC) goals is to raise money to help support our school and its students. TDSB provides a budget for operating the council so you have our guarantee that 100% of all dollars raised by parents will go back to the school.
Funds raised support: Ukelele grade 3 program, class excursions, in-school presentations, school musicals, concerts, musical instruments, graduation ceremonies, student games/activities, outdoor play equipment, and more!
In 2025-2026, the school community raised over 23k
