Mrs .Kathleen Cornelius highlighted the importance of implimententing the use of Google

Classroom .She had the privilege of demonstrating how Google Classroom works .She

encouraged parents to get familiarized with it because we are living in the world of technology .

Ms .Michelle Marshall , the Director of Fundraising made an impactful presentation on the

importance of fundraising .When it comes to fundraising, we can all agree that it is essential

when dealing with schools,especially privately owned schools.

Obtaining money takes the fundraising Oscar. By organizing and executing successful

fundraising activities, we are able to gain the resources we need to achieve the school’s goals.

For the past term, we saw the number of activities that took place and it was somewhat

burdensome for many including myself. By doing fundraising, we can assist with supplementing

the school’s budget for things like field trips, parties/events, and facility upgrades.

One of the goals we are trying to accomplish through fundraising is the enhancement of the

school’s outlook. The tires are to be replaced and repainted, to enhance the school overall

outlook .We are in dire need for the school’s playground enhancement since playing is essential

at their developmental stages.

To assist with doing so, we have outlined three (3) important fundraising activities planned for

the month of February .

:Valentine’s Day Cake Sale

:Donation Sheet

:Super Sale
