As we enter the holiday season, we wanted to let you know that the new year will bring some new fundraisers to East Carling. Look for our Little Caesars Pizza Kit Fundraiser, and our Cake-Walk Fundraiser information coming home shortly after the return to school in the new year. Both of these fundraisers have been a big hit with our families in the past, and we hope that you'll be excited to participate again this coming season. Remember, the funds raised through these initiatives are reinvested back into East Carling to help bring additional opportunities and resources to our students.
If you're able to lend a hand with our fundraisers or events, head over to the membership page, and fill out the form. Join us as a member, or as a valued volunteer. We look forward to having you as part of our group.
Together as a community, we make East Carling better each day.
East Carling Home & School Association Launch
August 28, 2025
Today we are thrilled to announce the launch of the East Carling Home & School Association. With the support of the Administration at East Carling Public School, and under the umbrella of the Ontario Federation of Home and School Associations (OFHSA), we are bringing this new organization to the community so that we may better support the students and families of East Carling Public School. Home & School does not replace the important advocacy work that our School Council does, instead, it enhances it, and shifts much of the fundraising and community event responsibility to this new and dedicated group, allowing the Council to concentrate on their core mandate. This shift also empowers additional members of our community to join in our efforts, including legacy families of East Carling that were previously ineligible to fully participate in School Council activities due to the rules and regulations surrounding their organizational structure.
As with any new organization, we are looking for new members to join our efforts as we start out on this exciting new journey. There’s no experience required, and no set schedule either. Just a desire to make a difference, meet people who care, and an eye toward the future.
I know that we are also looking forward to working closely with the School Council to ensure that we can maximize the benefits and opportunities that both of our organizations are able to leverage for all of the students and families of East Carling Public School. And of course, we can’t wait to work alongside our dedicated staff, students, community members, and our amazing families to continually build a strong and prosperous school community together.
On behalf of the 2025/2026 East Carling Home & School Association Executive, we thank you generously for your support of East Carling Public School.
