Pioneer Park School council is pleased to announce that our school has organized another clothing collection with Bag2School to raise funds for the school on May 23, 2014.
These funds will be used to purchase a ‘buddy bench’. The purpose of this bench is to provide a space for those students who are looking for a buddy to interact with while outside at nutrition break.
Bag2School provides free fund raising for schools, churches, and sports organizations and, since its inception in 2001, has helped raise over $20,000,000 in Canada, USA, Great Britain and Holland.
By getting involved with this clothing collection you have an opportunity to help raise funds for your school as well as helping the environment by diverting unwanted textiles away from land fill sites. In addition, it will help raise the students’ awareness of the benefits of the 3 “R’s”—Reuse, Recycle and Reduce.
Please donate any unwanted clothing – hats, belts, purses, footwear (tied in pairs please) – and soft/stuffed toys, bedding, drapes. If your donation bag is not big enough for all of your items, you can use any other type of bag(s) as well.
To help raise the maximum funds for your school, please ask your relatives, neighbours and friends to go through their closets too – a team effort makes all the difference!
Start collecting your items for May 23rd drop off!
Bag2School helps to raise funds by paying the school $200/ton.
