Fundraising

Fundraising makes an important contribution to the vitality and growth of the École Ross Road School community.

Fundraising provides our school with the financial means to acquire and/or upgrade equipment, supplies, material and programs beyond normal assistance covered by the District and Province.  The additional funds are an investment in our school to enhance programs, policies and activities.


Current Fundraising Events and Opportunities for 2025/26


Grade 7 Fundraising – Purdys and DeVrys

Do you need some gift ideas for Easter and Mother’s Day – or are you looking for new ways to freshen up your garden or patio? The Grade 7 Committee has you covered with our popular DeVry Greenhouses and Purdys Chocolates fundraisers!

We encourage you to share the DeVry and Purdy’s order links with friends and family from outside of the school. We do ask however, that you arrange to pick up any of the items that your family/friends order. Please email Nicole at nicolecutura@gmail.com so that she can ensure that your family and friends orders are grouped together with yours.

All fundraising profits will directly support our Grade 7 students as they make the big transition from Elementary School to High School, so every dollar makes a great difference to us and to the kids! We truly appreciate your support!

Each time you (or your friends and family) purchase products at COBS Bread at Park & Tilford, mention you are raising dough for Ross Road Elementary – the staff will process 5% of the total sale back to your school.

Pink Shirt Day is on Feb 25 and we’re buzzing with excitement to share a fundraising initiative, created with kindness, community, and a whole lot of heart.

The shirts are being made by one of our very own school community members, keeping this project local and truly made with love.

Fundraising with Purpose

Every shirt sold helps make a difference — both close to home and across Canada:

– 50% of proceeds will be donated back to our school to support the “We Are Us” program, with hopes of contributing toward initiatives like a new kindness bench for our students.
– 50% of proceeds will be donated to www.bullyingendshere.ca, supporting families and anti-bullying education nationwide.

👕 How to Order

Available in youth – $15 – and adult – $20 – sizes

– Please submit sizes and quantities to your class representative
– Payment should be given to class reps

🗓 Order & payment deadline: January 31
 (Our little helpers will be busy making them!)
