The TFSS will supply your with collection buckets, arrange pick-up of the coins, tally them, and let you know how much you've raised.For information on running a coin drive contact hal.whitcomb@tdsb.on.ca | |
This December, you can glow like Rudolph and help students in need during the Red Nose Campaign. The TFSS has sourced flashing red noses for schools to sell at their holiday concerts, assemblies and other events. Noses sell for $3.00 each and all proceeds go to the Hope in Action Emergency Fund that provides students with food, warm clothes, gloves, shoes, winter boots and other necessities. The need is great, with requests for assistance coming in daily. Send us your photos and videos of you and your classmates wearing your noses and we’ll add them to our web pics page.
To participate, just send an email to Hal Whitcomb at:The Toronto District School Board recognizes that school-based fundraising is a local activity.
