Funds raised by school council provide enriching opportunities to students to enhance their educational experience

Some items and events the school council supported in 2023-2024 include:

• Forest of Reading

• Educational software

• Canadian Reader

• Dare to Care

• Luv to Groove

• Classroom equipment and supplies

School council puts the “fun” in fundraising. With the belief that fundraising should not be a burden to families, the school council provides opportunities throughout the year to make lives a little easier while raising funds to support school initiatives. Popular fundraising activities include:

• Hot Lunches - On select Fridays, volunteers coordinate hot lunches that students and staff can order in advance. Regular offerings include pizza, subs, and more.

• Movie Nights - Take the family out to a fun movie night in the MPS gym. Pizza can be pre-ordered so you don’t have to worry about supper and, just like a movie theatre, there are snacks, drinks, and popcorn available.

• Little Caesar’s Pizza - Make dinner time a little easier with the popular Little Caesar’s pizza kits. 

• Jingle Bell Bazaar - The annual Holiday bazaar has become an institution at Metcalfe Public School and is particularly enjoyed by our younger students, who get to surprise family members with gifts they pick out on their own. Older students help run the bazaar with activities such as manning tables and wrapping the gifts and our volunteers have a blast too! We always need volunteers for this program.

• Cake-a-palooza - Our annual Cake Walk fundraiser is a huge hit with students. Volunteers contribute baked goods (nut free) and the students purchase tickets to get a chance to win their favourite treat.

• Mabel’s Labels - Help your child keep track of their belongings. Enter Metcalfe Public School on the Mabel's Labels website and order your labels. This fundraiser is always active so order anytime.

Additional opportunities may be offered throughout the year.
