The
School Council and Fundraising Society meet 7 times a year on Wednesday
evenings in the library. The schedule
for the 2015-2016 year is:
September 16, 2015
October 21, 2015
November 18, 2015
January 20, 2016
March 16, 2016
April 20, 2016
May 18, 2016
The organization
of the groups is separate, but meetings are held back-to-back. The two meetings usually take about 2 hours
total, but interested parents are encouraged to come even if you can’t stay for
the full 2 hours. All parents and
caregivers of Rosemont students are members of the School Council and
Fundraising Society – all you have to do is show up.
At the
School Council meetings, Principal and a Teacher or one of the other Staff
always give reports on what is going on at the school, and the council
discusses upcoming events. The School
Council sponsors events like the Welcome Back Breakfast (September 9), a
Halloween Carnival, a Movie Night, and an end-of-year Staff Appreciation
Lunch. The meetings are also a chance
for parents to discuss suggestions or concerns.
We appreciate your help with our activities, whether or not you attend
the meetings – every little bit makes a positive difference for our school.
At the
Fundraising Society meetings, there is a discussion of the budget and
fundraising initiatives. Currently, the
Fundraising Society is working on a major effort: raising over $100,000 for a
new playground.
The
meetings are a great chance to meet other parents and learn about what’s
happening at the school (and sometimes we have snacks).
