Next meeting: Wednesday, November 19, 2025

time: 7pm

where: library or zoom

The Northlea community has always been a strong supporter of fundraising events throughout the school year. At our upcoming Home and School Meeting on Wednesday November 19th at 7PM in the library (also available online with details to come by email), we will vote on where we would like to allocate these funds.  This support assists the administration in providing Northlea with additional funding to enhance the school environment and activities. In the past, the Home and School Association (“H&S”) presented the Northlea Administration with fundraising dollars to support the following:

  • School Field Revitalization Project – just completed!
  • Chromebooks
  • Forest of Reading Program- A reading program for both English and French Students
  • Scientist in the School and Logics Academy programs
  • Dance and drama programming
  • Sports Equipment and Apparel
  • Kilometer Club
  • Kindergarten Playground
  • Artist in Residence (Mural at Door 2)
  • These are just a few of the programs that we have supported over the years with the generous support of the community at our fundraising events.

Typically, we are able to fund a wide variety of projects, equipment purchases, and activities. Last year a major focus was on the funding of the schoolyard/sports field revitalization, with a smaller than average allocation across remaining proposals deemed essential for the enrichment of our children’s school experience. This year we welcome proposals of ALL scopes for consideration as our entire fundraising funds will be allocated to these proposals as voted upon.  

In addition to fundraising for our school’s initiatives, we also put aside 5% from our net fundraising towards a Philanthropy Fund to support schools that aren’t as fortunate as our community. In the past we have supported the Thorncliffe Park School Breakfast Program and rebuilding a school Library in Alberta devastated by a forest fire and last year we supported Grenoble Public School.

Also, we are looking for volunteers to join in any capacity. Please come to the meeting to find out how you can help.
