Fundraisers & Donations

Fundraising

This year our Parent Council has decided to run a fundraising campaign to generate funds that support the learning agenda for all students at the school. For example, the funds raised from last years parent council's fundraising campaigns contributed $25.00 for each student at the school to pay for entry fee costs associated with class field trips. This saved all families the cost of paying for these fees out of their own pockets. 

Mabel's Labels

Dates: All Year Long

This year we are proud to partner with Mabel’s Labels, a company that provides a variety of different label options for your child’s or family’s belongings.  They have labels for items like clothing, lunch and drink containers, backpacks and shoes!  They are inexpensive and can be custom ordered to fit your needs.  We have attached a flyer with the website for you to order.  Any orders will go to support activities at the school.  This fundraiser is ongoing – you can order anytime throughout the year!

When you are at the website, on the right hand side of the screen there is a tab for "Support a Fundraiser". Click on it and type in West Dover School Parent Council. That way, anything that you purchase will result in a portion of the sale going to the school to support activities for students.  Any questions, please contact us at fundraisingwestdover@gmail.com.
