Thank you to this year’s St. Philip School Council and especially to executive members Shondra McLean, Suzanne Easton, Lori O’Brien, Fiona Cram. Tina Sul, Jodi Eady, and Michelle McIver for their continued efforts and involvement during the 2020/2021 year. Thanks to Ms. White, Mrs Santos, and Mrs Bailey for their participation and engagement, we are so blessed by your support. Although it was not the year we may have wanted, we made the best of it with virtual and social distanced meetings, fundraisers and events. Please see below for a quick summary:
Fundraising:
During the 2020/2021 school year, our goal as a council was to minimize fundraising requests to parents who may be dealing with job loss or other financial pressures due to the pandemic. We did however run a few small fundraisers for specific items which are outlined below. Thanks to those families who were able to support these initiatives this year.
Gift of Reading Fundraiser for Learning Common resources raised: $1664.45
Christmas Poinsettia Fundraiser for French resources raised: $622.12
Jojos Pizza Fundraiser for Grade Six graduating students raised: $837.
Expenses:
Due to our existing balance sheet (carried over from previous years of fundraising), we were fortunate to be able to support a number of initiatives this year.
Supported teacher requests for:
microphones/headsets to help with teaching while wearing masks

Kindergarten outdoor manipulatives
Miscellaneous yard items
Other items:
