Our annual Loonie & Toonie Drive is a heartfelt initiative to support families of our own students experiencing financial challenges. We are accepting donations at all campuses until MONDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2025. All funds collected will be pooled to purchase Superstore gift cards for families within our school community who need some extra support this winter.

Another annual initiative to foster generosity and optimism within our community, is our Mitten Tree tradition. Students are asked to bring in NEW hats or mittens to decorate the trees at each of our campuses. On December 20, donations will go to Project Warmth to help those experiencing homelessness.

Together, let’s celebrate the spirit of giving and make this season brighter for our community.

The Scholastic Book Fair is at our Rosscarrock Middle School Campus until November 7! Students choosing their own books empowers and inspires them on their journey to become lifelong readers.
