Dance-a-thon!

We are thrilled to announce that we have a Dance-a-thon Fundraiser scheduled for February 19th. We have chosen to host this Dance-a-thon for a number of reasons: because it is inclusive and allows everybody to participate. Secondly, because it gets our kids moving, and finally, because we believe it to be an effective way to raise funds for the school.


We will be hosting a kick off assembly on February 1st at 8:45 am. This assembly will inform the students all about our upcoming Dance-a-thon event. For the convenience of family and friends, on-line pledging is available at: http://www.pledge.me/. The students will receive an envelope to gather their pledges (pledge-lope) following the kick-off assembly. We are fully equipped to accept on-line pledges starting today. We thank you very much for your support!

Hosted by Presswood Entertainment (www.dance-a-thon.ca), this event boasts a friendly and fun DJ, colourful disco lighting and even the option to customize the music through student requests!

The event will take place during the school day on February 19th. Students will be allocated a length of time based on their grade level to dance and will attend regular classes for the balance of the day.

Our Kindergarten kids will be dancing for about 20 minutes, enjoying class favourites like the “Hokey Pokey and Bunny Hop”. Parents of the Kindergarten crowd are welcome to attend this leg of the fundraiser to take once-in-a-lifetime pictures and videos.

Presswood Entertainment has a great reputation and runs fantastic events in hundreds of elementary schools across Ontario. Not only will this be a fun and healthy activity for our kids, we are hopeful it will raise funds for our school.
