Fall Fundraising
This year, we are doing TWO PROGRAMS FROM QSP: the GIFT CATALOGUE and FAMILY READING MAGAZINES. This magazine and gift sale will help raise funds for programs, activities and equipment that benefit our children.
The Gift Collection Catalogue offers 77 unique items and the Family Reading Program has over 700 magazines and books at savings of up to 80% off newsstand prices. Our school retains an average of $10.00 for every magazine purchased, so every order counts. Imagine if every family purchased something!
This is a great opportunity to buy gifts and/or subscriptions for relatives, friends, business associates and children, who love to receive their own mail. Magazines can be sent anywhere in Canada, and if requested, QSP will send a gift card - also available online!
MAGAZINES - ORDER ONLINE at www.QSP.CA!
¨ Save up to 4-6 weeks on the delivery time. Online orders are processed immediately, you start getting magazines right away!
¨ Invite family and friends across Canada to visit QSP.ca via the Email feature.
¨ Online ordering is easy for our school and you! Accurate, safe, and simple!
¨ Renewals are easy: just make sure you enter your address exactly as it’s printed on your current mailed magazines.
GIFT/MAGAZINE CATALOGUE ORDERS
¨ Complete entire order form: address, postal code, student’s name and school.
¨ Gift orders will be delivered to the school approx. 3 weeks after the campaign ends.
Band Day at Northlea – Wednesday, October 13th
On Wednesday, October 13th, a group of Leaside students will travel to Northlea to assist with the Grade 6 Beginner Band Day organized by Ms. Loucks, the music teacher. Our students will serve as assistants to the instrument specialists throughout the day and act as excellent leaders and team members as well as role models! They’ll also get a chance to work with the specialists on their own instrumental performance. This opportunity is open to members of the Concert Band, and permission forms coming home shortly.
