Please help some of the most vulnerable families in our school by donating grocery gift cards to the counselling department in increments of $25. Deliver all donations to the school designated for "counselling department."
If you want to level up your donation, order them from the Tupper Music Department which is currently holding a gift card fundraiser. This way, 2 students benefit. Win-win! HOW?
Either way, please make sure your contact information is clear on the form. The deadline for the music gift card fundraiser is December 4. Gift Card Orders Pickup is Monday, Dec 16th at the Winter Concert (6:30pm). Winter concert attendance is appreciated but isn't required. After picking up your order, please deliver donations to the office labelled "counselling department". ** Important details about pick-up: If you cannot pick up your order that night and you are ONLY placing an order for the counselling department, please write PAC in the line for who is picking up your order. If you are ordering for yourself as well, you must arrange for someone to pick up your order and then deliver the donations to the office. Background and more information about the gift card drive: At our last meeting, the PAC voted on Gaming Grant distribution after facing the largest disparity to-date between the amount requested and the amount received in the grant. One of the requests we were not able to fund was for grocery gift cards and other support for essentials that can be given to students in need at the discretion of the counselling team. By happy coincidence, the Tupper Music Department is currently selling gift cards for their annual fundraiser which means you can help 2 students for the same price! Here are the specific requests from the Counselling Department - I will list them all, in case you're able to meet other needs:
Thank you for your support!

CUT TO THE CHASE:
- Total asks = $45,305 - Gaming Grant + contribution from PAC General Fund) = $23,273 - Approximately a 22k gap between request and current available funds - Asking for monetary or in-kind donations from now through December 22 - Your donation is secure and will go directly to the school after the drive. We do not receive or see any of your payment details - All donors will receive a tax receipt - Donate money here on chimp.net - Sign up for other donations here http://bit.ly/2nRRcS3 - See the entire budget spreadsheet here http://bit.ly/2AwXiwU - Questions? Email [email protected] Nitty Gritty Details: Every year, Tupper Parent Advisory Council (PAC) receives funding from the Province in the form of a “gaming grant” http://bit.ly/2km9Yft to support activities and items identified as “outside of the necessary curriculum.” The PAC invites teachers to apply for this funding by clearly identifying how it will enhance the student learning experience. Examples are field trips, lab equipment, sporting attire, and much more. The PAC then votes on how to distribute the funds. This process happened in October. We now want to raise funds to give the teachers and staff more extracurricular opportunities. Instead of ongoing fundraising throughout the year, we would like to put our limited time and energy into planning events that support and build this ROARSy community. But we can't do it alone. Any size donation is welcome, but if you’re not sure how much to give, we suggest somewhere in the vicinity of $25-75, or the equivalent value in-kind. If we could get 200 donations of that size, we would be almost completely funded for the year, which would be an amazing holiday gift for our school. Several of the requests will support our school for years, even decades to come. The impact of your donation is far-reaching, touching hundreds of students far into their future. How to HelpThere are 2 ways you can help: 1. Donate money here. No chequebook required. If you wish to write a cheque, please bring it to the Tupper office in an envelope labelled “PAC Direct Drive” and they will make sure it gets to us. 2. Donate “stuff” - many of the teacher asks are for things like food, cameras, or other services or physical items. Maybe you are a business owner or know one who could use an end-of-year tax write-off. If so, this would be a great option for you. All of the unmet requests can be found here http://tinyurl.com/tupper...Simply add your details to commit and we'll follow up with you soon. About the OrganizersThe primary role of the PAC is to “advise the board, principal and staff of the school respecting any matter relating to the school.” We also organize community and school events, and raise funds to support educational enrichment opportunities. HUGE thanks and kudos to Jill for her amazing work on our budget documents, once again creating a clear way forward. Please find all the documents for tonight's meeting below.
