Southlands Elementary PAC is excited to launch the Direct Donation campaign, raising funds for the 2025/2026 school year.
http://vsb.schoolcashonline.com/Fee/Details/1869/196/false/true
Southlands Elementary School takes pride in having built a strong spirit of Giving that is powered by the generous contributions of your time and financial support to help enrich our children’s learning. Over the years, the Direct Donation campaign has helped Southlands deliver new programs and upgraded services to our entire student community that were outside of the VSB funding. With ongoing provincial education funding cuts, the need for direct funding from families and our community is ever more crucial.
We are seeking to raise $10,000 to fund our basic budgetary demands and enrichment programs that help our children learn and develop the IB Primary Years Program Essential elements: Learner Profile; Transdisciplinary Themes; Concepts, Attitudes; Approaches to Learning and Action. The money raised in this campaign will be used to fund the following items in the 2025-26 school year:
- New Classroom Projectors - $5,000
- Classroom Funds - $5,000
Please check the campaign flyer for details of how to donate and get your tax receipt
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR GENEROUS SUPPORT!
