School Council Communications for Weekly Principal Update
Week Ending: Dec 5, 2025
New York Fries…. WE JUST COULDN’T RESIST!
One last fundraiser this holiday season…
REGULAR NEW YORK FRIES EVERY MONTH FOR A YEAR!
That’s right… every month and all for just $20. The best part is that almost $15 from each card purchased comes back to Connect Charter School.
Cards are available to order now and until Dec 12. They will be distributed on Dec. 16th either by pick up at the office or they will be sent home with your child (select option on order form – we suspect some might want to keep this card a secret!).
We have a limited number of cards available for purchase – so it’s first come first serve… and orders are complete only AFTER we have received your e-Transfer payment.
Click HERE to order. Consider enjoying some fries!

Have a great week
We’re thrilled to share that students came through in a big way on Giving Tuesday with the ‘Give Me 5’ campaign! Altogether, $1,408 was raised by our student community for our playground! Thank you parents for helping to remind your students to bring their spare change on Tuesday to contribute to this project.
Additionally, we are happy to announce that $7,000 has been raised for the playground since we announced that up to $25,000 would be matched by generous donors. This means that we still have $18,000 that’s available to be matched prior to Dec 31. If you haven’t yet donated to the playground, we would gratefully accept your donation so we can fully take advantage of this matching opportunity! To date, we have raised $150,000 toward our goal of $550,00. We are on our way!
Donate here by Dec 31: https://www.canadahelps.org/
Thank you for helping us build the future of play at Connect!
A big thank you to the parent committee helping out with the fundraising of this playground – Agnes Yuen, Lisbeth Garcia, Jennifer Ring Mcclure, Heather Vita, Cynthia Titchkosky & Susan Templeton. Your ideas, planning, organizing and time are so appreciated.
