Halloween Dance-A-Thon

Save the Date! The Notre Dame Halloween Dance-A-Thon will take place on Monday, October 31st!

The Catholic School Council Fundraising committee, students and teachers are getting ready for our Halloween Dance-A-Thon on Monday, October 31st. Students are encouraged to dress up in costume and participate, whether they take part in the fundraising or not.

We are asking that parents/guardians support this event by encouraging their children to get as many sponsors as possible to help us achieve our goal of raising $15,000.

Our goal is to have FUN while raising funds to support various school initiatives which may or may not include, and are not limited to:
– Indoor winter/spring activities: ex. Drumfit, Pound, Rocks & Rings
– Scientist in the School classroom visits
– School spirit events: Pancake Tuesday, Family Skate Night, Student Appreciation Day
– Catholicity and Faith Development
– Grade 8 Graduation
– School yard improvements
– Anti-bullying presentations and author visits
– Literacy and numeracy programs
– Technology and resources for classrooms

How the Dance-A-Thon works:
-All students will be dancing, and a schedule will be sent home.
-ONLY parents/guardians of students in Kindergarten are invited to join the Dance-A-Thon activities in the gymnasium. Please make sure to sign in at the office upon your arrival.
-Completed pledge forms and money may be brought to the school beginning Tuesday, October 11th.
-All completed pledge forms are due back no later than Monday October 31st at 8:20am to qualify for draws and prizes.
– There are great prizes to be won! Please visit the display case at the front of the school in the next few weeks!

Grade 7 & 8 students who do not wish to participate in fundraising are NOT eligible for prizes. We kindly ask that these students contribute $2 towards the cost of the D.J. Good luck and have fun!
