Direct Donation Drive

We wish to welcome back existing Rippleton families and send a warm welcome to new families to Rippleton PS. The Rippleton Association of Parents & Teachers known as “R.A.P.T.” is presenting our ANNUAL DIRECT DONATION DRIVE. RAPT asks families to make a one-time donation each year that will directly contribute to the social and educational development of our children. This campaign raises the most money for the benefit of our kids and makes a huge difference in the school. Families will receive a tax receipt for donations over $20.

R.A.P.T.’s goal for the 2011/2012 school year is to raise $19,000 through family donations. In 2010/2011 our fundraising efforts paid for the following activities and purchases for Rippleton Public School:
- Cadence Dance and Ballet Jurgensen Performances
- Scientist in the School
- Classroom Reading Books and Literacy items
- $650 donation per class to be spent on classroom resources to be used for years to come
- Playground improvements
- Water and snacks for Terry Fox Run, Track and Field, Jump rope for Heart etc
- And much more….
The Direct Donation Drive forms were sent home with students on Sept 15. Contact the school office if you did not receive yours.
Thank you for your consideration.

Our goal is for every student to have a Rippleton t-shirt but we also have other items of clothing and a water bottle for both students and their parents.
