Direct Donation Appeal
Our Direct Donation Appeal has begun and your children should be bringing home the forms in their backpacks, or you can print the form here. Your tax receipt eligible donation to fund required technology for the classrooms is needed to make sure the kids have fair access to needed equipment.

Winter Fair
The annual Winter Fair will be on Friday 14th Dec from 3.00pm to 5.00pm in the gym.
Come to enjoy the raffle, cake-walk, kids-only market, food, games, crafts, the Storybooth photo booth and award winning strolling magician Kelvin Ng.
TICKETS: Thanks to everyone who pre-ordered tickets. The completed orders went into the teacher’s mail boxes on Dec 4th, so you should be receiving them in back packs this week. Please look out for them, keep them safe and remember to bring them to the Fair. If you have any questions regarding tickets contact Stella at hudsonclassrep@outlook.com. Tickets will also be available for sale at the Fair.
DONATIONS
Kids-only market: A hugely popular part of the Winter Fair, where kids (only!) use ticket to purchase gifts for adults, urgently needs your donations.
Please donate: new or like-new adult-appropriate presents (men and women please!). Think about moms, dads, grandparents, etc. Some examples are costume jewellery, wallets, home decor, toiletry sets, scarves, novelty items. Dollar stores and discount bins are also great places to pick up inexpensive trinkets to donate. In good condition books, CDs, DVDs also accepted.
We will also accept kid-friendly presents (new or like-new books, toys, games) as some children may wish to buy for siblings etc. but the focus is on adult gifts as they’re harder for children to shop for and keep as a surprise. Please no used stuffies or clothes.
Please drop items in the girls change room in the gym either in the morning around 9.00am and after school around 3.00pm.
Raffle: We are seeking donated prizes for the raffle. If you or your company could donate a prize, gift certificate or experience for the raffle please drop it off in the school office with a note stating the value of the prize and your name or the name of the company. For more information contact Nina at njanepatel@gmail.com.
Cake walk: If you can donate a cake or set of cupcakes or cookies (home made or store bought) for the fabulous cake-walk please contact Stella at hudsonclassrep@outlook.com for more information.
VOLUNTEER: A big thank you to all those who have signed up to help organize and run the Fair. If there is anyone who would still like to be involved please contact Carly at carlykrug24@gmail.com. The more the merrier!
