Welcome Back!

We hope everyone had a wonderful summer and that the children had an awesome first week back!
Council Nomination forms were sent home this week.  If you have any questions on what some of the positions entail please feel free to contact Jo-Anne Green, jo-anne.green@sympatico.ca or Anita DiPaolo, anitadipaolo@gmail.com.

There are lots of different ways you can get involved.  You don't need to sign up for an Executive role on Council, our meetings are open to all parents of St. Philip School.  We will be posting our Council Meeting agendas here on this blog.  They will be posted a week or so before our meetings, giving parents enough time to submit topics of discussions they wish to bring to the table.  This timeline may vary.  Our meetings take place the third Monday of each month at St. Philip School, 6:30-8:00pm.  If there is a topic you are interested in learning more about on the month's agenda, please come out to the meeting, we would love to hear from you!

Please be advise that Council approves the agenda before meetings begin, so if you intend on presenting a topic of discussion it has to be stated on that meeting's agenda. 

We will be posting a link to our Council minutes on this blog.

We look forward to bringing lots of great social events, fundraisers & community improvements to St. Philip School this year - why not be part of our team?

QSP Magazine Drive Back for Another Year!!!

We will be launching our annual QSP Magazine Fundraiser on October 8th.  Yes, the children will be coming home wanting to win all the prizes they saw during the launch presentation - SORRY ABOUT THAT :) !  I love how excited the children are during this fundraiser!   It has always been a success,  thanks to you and your families for your ongoing support and dedication in helping us reach our goal!

The QSP fundraising packages will be going home with the children on October 8th.  If you have an renewals coming up with special discounted offers sent by mail, please wait to renew those magazines as part of our drive.  All you have to do is attach the mailed offer you received with payment.  Renewals can not be made online.  I do urge everyone who is purchasing magazines for the first time to make their purchase online.  It allows for less errors to be made, your order is processed quicker and the school receives more money for these online orders.

If you are curious as to the magazines available visit the QSP website today! Our school code is 10823. 

WARNING - Any purchases made before our launch date will not go towards prizes your child may win throughout the drive. 

Many Thanks!
The Fundraising Committee
