Splish Splash We are having a Bash!!
We are very excited to announce that the St. Gabriel Dance-a-thon is returning on Thursday, April 20th. This event will be an opportunity for all students to participate in physical activity and help to raise money for their school community. Our Dance-a-thon will be Beach themed, and students may dress in appropriate attire for this event (shorts, sunglasses, sun hats, etc). All donations are very much appreciated!
All funds raised will help support students at St. Gabriel in a variety of areas in both the classroom and school environments. The goal of our fundraiser is to support several initiatives such as:
- Chromebook cart to support access to devices for students
- Science supplies & tools
- New classroom recess equipment
- New Physical Education equipment
- New team uniforms
- Enhancements to our outdoor learning spaces
Please ask family members and family friends to pledge. We ask that students do not go door to door and ask strangers for pledges.
For every $5 in Dance-a-thon pledges, students will receive one ticket for the prize basket table. Note: the average student submits $25+ and donations of $25 or more are eligible for a tax receipt. Please note: all pledges must be completed on St.Gabriel SchoolCash Online by Thursday, April 13th to be eligible for prizes.
***NO CASH OR CHEQUES WILL BE ACCEPTED AT THE SCHOOL***
A “Beach Bag” treat bag will also be available for purchase through SchoolCash Online for $5. This bag will be similar to the Christmas Cheer treat bags that were available this year.
Please see attached letter for prize donation requests for each class “basket.”
