Fundraising at Dorothy Lynas

Fundraising is vital to the ongoing growth of the École Dorothy Lynas Elementary School and provides a wonderful opportunity for community building. Fundraising provides our school with the financial means to acquire and/or upgrade equipment, supplies, material and programs beyond normal assistance covered by the District and Province. The additional funds are an investment in our school to enhance programs, policies, and activities; and to provide a better learning environment for our children.

Our sources of fundraising is through:

Fun Food Days
Seycove Family of Schools – Auction, Dinner and Dance and take away Saturday, April 29^th, 2023
The Card Project
Spirit Wear
Bingo Night
Cobs Bread (Mention Dorothy Lynas and our PAC gets 5% of the sale at Parkgate and Park & Tilford Location)

These wonderful fundraisers are supported by volunteers that help make these events successful. We encourage those interested to get involved to support the PAC fundraisers.

Where does the Fundraising money go?

In recent years, fundraising dollars were spent in the following areas:

Technology: iPads and projector equipment
Performance Art programs for assembly
Student subsidies (for events, field trips) and scholarships
Library books and home reading books
Playground improvements and maintenance
First Aid and Emergency Preparedness supplies, Safe Teen program
Student Empowerment (Dragon Lunches, peer counselors, etc.)
Gym equipment (and mats) and school team jerseys
Equipment for the music room

There is an ongoing need for these expenditures every year. The PAC is proud to support our school and is immensely grateful to all the families for their generous donations and the volunteers who put in the time to implement the programs.
