Outreach and Charitable Giving In 2009-2010, the St. John’s-Kilmarnock School Community raised funds for a variety of causes and organizations, including more than $16,000 for the Red Cross Haiti Fund. A Bake Sale for Haiti Relief was one of many fundraising events by students in Lower, Middle and Upper Schools
Parents’ Association The Parents’ Association is always fortunate to be an integral weave to the fabric of the SJK community. Since my last PA newsletter in December 2009, the association has continued to organize a variety of activities. It was another successful year for the Hot Lunch program. Thank you to Janess Hunt and Katherine Gyles for their great work as Hot Lunch Co-chairs. Many thanks also to Jacquie Macarthur for the coordination of the hot lunch volunteers and to the volunteers who passed out the lunches to all those hungry students. The Used Uniform Sale on May 5-6 was an all-time successful event. Total revenue for the year from the Used Uniform Sales surpassed $10,000, breaking any of the previous year’s revenue total. Congratulations and thank you to Leslie Bartels, Used Uniform Chair and her committee for their hard work. Spring Fling was a highlight event for the Parents’ Association, bringing together students, their families, friends, faculty and staff of the school. Laughter and smiles on everyone’s faces were all that was needed to put everyone on a high note. From the profits of the Hot Lunch program, Used Uniform Sales, and Memento sales, as well as the amount from the PA Levy, the Parents’ Association is able to financially support various school amenities and resources complementing and enhancing the overall academic program of the school. Through PA programs, we have been able to fund over $27,000 of items in two funding request rounds. The Parents’ Association also has a budget every year to continue supporting various activities for the school, activities such as: Eaglemania, Grad Dinner, French Day, Christmas Lunch, Science Fair, Environment Day, Arts Around Us, Athletic Banquet, and receptions for Founder’s Day Service, Carol Services and Prize Day. The PA will continue to fund the PA Endowment Fund annually. As evidenced from the above list, the PA is very fortunate to be able to assist the school in a wide array of enrichments. With the funds left in the PA treasury at the end of the year, we were able to give to the Annual Fund, specifically to purchase room darkening drapes for the chapel. It will certainly add much to the improvement of presentations done in the chapel during the light of day. The PA is very fortunate to have incredible support from its volunteers. We were able to accomplish so much because of their hard work and dedication. I would like to extend special thanks to the Executive Officers and Executive Committee Members for all their time and effort:
