There is something for everyone at the Ross Road Craft Fair: Local vendors, two shows of “Scrooge” (6:15 and 7:15), craft activities for everyone from preschoolers to adults, a raffle of our amazing Class Baskets, Christmas baking, coffee and of course, Santa Claus. Come and try some or all of it, see old friends and meet new ones. This is one of our major fundraisers for the Ross Road community and all proceeds will go to make the school a better place for all of our kids. See you on Friday from 5:00-8:30pm!

Beat the rush! Get your tickets early! Ticket pre-sales take place after school in the lobby on Thursday and Friday (November 18th & 19th).
Yes, the countdown is on to this beloved Ross Road event taking place on Friday November 19th!
Class reps are getting ready to wrap up their respective baskets for the amazing Class Basket Raffle, so if you have not made your contribution (either an item or a cash donation) please try to get it to your class rep by Tuesday, November 16th to give the reps time make final purchases for the baskets and wrap them up into wonderfully eye-catching collections!
And don’t forget to sign up for a volunteer position! Sign-up sheets are up on the foyer so have a look at what’s available. The organizers need at least 2 volunteers from each class to help with anything from children’s crafts to setting up/cleaning up, ticket selling, serving hot chocolate, collecting tickets for the Panto etc. If you aren’t able to physically sign up for anything, just get in touch with your class rep and they can let you know what’s available!

The Emergency Preparedness Committee (EPC) appreciates the PAC’s past purchase of emergency shelters and other vital supplies that will help our school be better prepared in the event of a natural disaster. Keeping our students and staff safe is paramount!
Do you have any Canadian Tire money? The EPC would appreciate your donations so that supplies can be purchased for our classroom “grab and go” bags. The donation box is located at the front office. For more information, or if you have corporate connections to emergency preparedness items, please contact Barb Woznow, our EPC coordinator, at 604-983-2271 or wozzy@shaw.ca. Thank you for your support!
