Earth Day Fundraiser

 

Earth Day Fundraiser at the Pirates Musical! 

Please help support our Green Team efforts by visiting our "Table Verte" display table on the night of the performance. We will be located in the school’s entrance. Our students will be happy to tell you what they’ve been doing to help make our school eco-friendly.  They will also tell you about the outdoor classroom that is being created.

To help raise funds for this green initiative, we will be selling sports sacs for your child’s gym clothes ($5) and stainless steel water bottles ($15). These two items will feature the Ecole Forest Trail logo. We will also be selling zipped vinyl envelopes ($5) to help send money or important notes to school (eliminating the need for plastic ziplock bags). We will accept cash or cheques.
