Fundraisers & Donations

Casino Fundraiser

Our Casino fundraiser is scheduled for Friday, April 29 and Saturday, April 30 and we need at least 30-40 parent volunteers!  We usually earn about $65,000 and last year alone this purchased:

-$20,000 for computers/Chromebooks and a cart for student learning 

-100+ new library books 

-Club and Activities Supplies 

-Musical Instruments 

-Digital Displays in our hallways to celebrate life at SWL 

-Sound Equipment for virtual assemblies 

-Wrestling Mats and PE Equipment 

-Grade 9 Farewell celebration and grade 6-9 awards 

-Planetarium Day: Grade Six Science.

Currently, we need a lot of new games and supplies for our library, which is scheduled to reopen for students mid-April. If we don’t have volunteers, we will lose the casino.  Thank you in advance for signing up and making your child’s school a better place to be.  Please use the link at the side to volunteer for a casino shift.  

Thank you in advance for your support of our school and your child's education.
