Fundraising directly supports educational activities and opportunities that we otherwise could not afford. Where the funds are allotted is an agenda item each month. Our teachers make an annual "wish list" of technology, books, equipment, presentations, field trips, and we aim to fund as much as possible. We have purchased technology (Chromebooks, charging station, iPads), musical instruments (inluding repairs, replacement, and storage), tarmac and sportsfield repairs, gyro-sphere STEM robots, physcial education equipment, two water bottle refill stations, recess equipment, and more.
In 2020 our fundrasing efforts made up close to one third (33%) of our schools operating budget.
Funds earned through our AGLC events are bound by restrictions of use Use of Gaming Proceeds.

Healthy Hunger Hot Lunch Program
Healthy Hunger is one fundraiser we run all year long. Once a month, our students have an opportunity to order a hot lunch which is organized through parent hot lunch coordinator (thank you Therese). This year we're hoping to utilize vendors that pre-label and pre-sort our students so parents are not needed in the building to organize the classes or deliver.
This program is a nationwide program with over 200 schools using the program in the Edmonton area alone. This service provider offers our school some very keen features; allowing us to make things more efficient and with no annual fees, as it is free of charge.
