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.

Cobs Bread – Bread and other bakery items

Ross Road Elementary School is now part of the COBS Dough Raiser program! The Dough Raiser program is where COBS helps raise money for our school.


Throughout the year they offer our families and friends the chance to raise funds which are donated back to Ross Road Elementary.

How it works


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.

The Cobs donation to Ross Road Elementary will be presented at the end of the year. It’s as easy as that!
