It directly benefits every student at Allenby. The Allenby Parents’ Association spends more than $60,000 annually (over $75 dollars per child) on programs and initiatives that enrich their educational experience at Allenby. We couldn’t possibly do this without the support of our entire parent body. Whether it be financial donations, time in the trenches or a combination of both, Allenby parents are an important key to our success.
To help you plan your family resources and time, we have put together a list of fundraising initiatives: Please note that this is APA-related fundraising only. Allenby Public School and the TDSB also hold several fundraising initiatives throughout the year.
Annual Parent Donation Drive – Look for forms this week. This is a voluntary and confidential donation. Donations may also be made online by clicking here.
Pizza Lunch – Forms went home last week. The kids love it and we all look forward to the last Friday of every month!
Big Night Out 2012 – Mark your calendars for Thursday November 8th. The “Who’s Who” of the Allenby parent body will be partying it up in the gym…where will you be? Watch for details.
Lip Synch 2013 – Two nights in February where the kids are the stars of the show.
Fun Fair 2013 – See you on Saturday June 1st for a great day of community building and family fun!
QSP: Not just any three letters! This is our magazine drive that is often forgotten by parents. Go to www.QSP.ca, enter Allenby’s Group Number – 9133, and order your magazine subscriptions at deeply discounted prices. What’s in it for Allenby? $10 of every subscription is given to the APA!
Third Party Shopping: Thoughout the year, simply go to Allenbyparents.com and shop the increasing number of vendors that are partnering with Allenby.
We are excited about another year of FUNdraising and we hope you are too! There are plenty of opportunities to get involved, make a difference and meet new people. We always have tons of fun and we hope you will consider joining us in planning one of these fabulous fundraisers!
