About our Fundraising Activities
Schools are provided instructional budgets from the Department of Education. Beyond these budgets, we often need to fund-raise in order to support our goals. For example, a school may want to purchase some audio equipment to create podcasts, set up a green-screen recording studio, purchase new tablets, or a piece of playground equipment. These elements are often not included as part of the provision from the government. As such, whenever we seek monetary support from our school community and the public, we take great care to ensure that you know what you are supporting and that the money you have offered goes where you intended. All fundraising at St. Thomas Aquinas is governed by the NLESD Fundraising Policy and is subject to the approval, review, and direction of the School Council.
How Can I Donate to St. Thomas Aquinas?
There are various ways to donate money to support our fundraising campaigns. Receipts are automatically provided for donations of $20 or more -- othewise, upon request. How to donate:
Visit the school and make your donation at the office.
Give your money to a student (if the student has a sponsor sheet).
Get in touch with any of our staff members or school council members.
If you live nearby but are unable to make it into the school, we may be able to arrange someone to pay you a visit! Give us a call: 709-648-2260 or email us at stthomasaquinas@nlesd.ca.
