We are pleased to announce that our school has organized a clothing collection with Bag2School to raise funds for our school.
Bag2School provides free fund raising for schools, churches, and sports organizations and, since its inception in 2001, has helped raise over $20,000,000 in Canada, USA, Great Britain and Holland.
By getting involved with this clothing collection you have an opportunity to help raise funds for your school as well as helping the environment by diverting unwanted textiles away from land fill sites. In addition, it will help raise the students' awareness of the benefits of the 3 "R's" - Reuse, Recycle and Reduce.
Please donate any unwanted clothing - hats, belts, purses, footwear (tied in pairs please) - and soft/stuffed toys. If your donation bag is not big enough for all your items, you can use any other type of bag as well.
To help raise the maximum funds for our school, please ask your relatives, neighbours and friends to go through their closets too - a team effort makes all the difference!
Please return your bags to Indian Road Crescent P.S.
On Tuesday April 22nd, 2014
Please label your donation with your child's Room #.
The class with the most donations will win the "The Golden Pineapple"Award!
Bag2School will help us raise funds by paying our school $200/ton.
The record last year was 3.75 tons! The average per school is 1 ton.
