General updates- school council meeting, pizza Tuesday, magazine fundraiser, help refugees!


SCHOOL COUNCIL MEETING, MONDAY OCTOBER 26th, 7-9pm

That is all! We hope to see lots of you there to hear what's going on in school and what the council has planned for the year to come! Meetings take place in the school library


Interested in helping a refugee family in conjunction with the school community?

Some of the parents are hoping to get Lord Lansdowne involved in the 100 Schools Challenge. Here is a very short (3 questions only!) survey to let us know if you are interested in getting involved - Take survey here



Pizza Tuesdays

Da Vinci School council are running Pizza Tuesdays as a fundraiser. It saves you having to pack a lunch for your child for Tuesday! Just send them in with a toonie (exact change please) and they can choose between pepperoni, cheese or gluten free cheese pizza. For children in SK, they should bring the money and their order in on Monday (envelopes distributed for the purpose on Friday  - check that backpack!).





QSP magazine subscriptions fundraising

Please go here - http://www.QSP.ca/3721339 - to browse and choose discounted magazine subscriptions and raise money for Lord Lansdowne! We are keeping it online only this year and also NOT doing the prizes for number of subscriptions sold. Reason for not having the prizes include the difficulty of distributing them, particularly with work-to-rule and also the fact that the little prizes are generally not actually very good at all! The distribution of prizes also can highlight those families who could not afford to or chose not to buy subscriptions for whatever reason. We hope you understand!

  1. Wow!! This fundraising idea is really great. I am also planning a fundraising event at one of corporate events Chicago. Thinking of planning this event along with some friends. That would help in raising the fund. Any ideas for me?
