Fundraisers & Donations

Current Fundraiser

The QES School Council and Parent Society are excited to present their Current Fundraiser- Fill Your Freezer.

All funds raised during this fundraiser (as with all fundraisers we hold) will go back to the school to enhance and enrich student learning! From art supplies and phys. ed equipment to busses for field trips and math manipulatives, we use these funds to support the school with what they need to make our kids’ learning great!

 Fun Lunch – Use the link below to go to the Healthy Hunger site to register for an account if you’re new, or sign into your old account and update it with your child’s current grade and teacher.

Fund a Friend – Every year we are asked by many people in our community how they can help support families in our school that may need some extra help. The QES School Council and

Parent Society began a fund last year where we will take e-transfers and use the money given

to support families at our school with things like Fun Lunches, school shirts, winter gear, grocery gift cards, and more. All funds donated are kept as a separate line item in our budget, which can be viewed at any time by anyone interested.

If you would like to support this initiative, please send your e-transfer to:
