The 600 Reasons to Just Ask!
This spring we are simply having a donation fundraiser. Yeah! No selling chocolate! This will be the ONLY MAJOR CSPC fundraiser of the 2016-2017 school year besides Pizza Lunch. The funds raised during this campaign will be used to enhance our 600 children’s school experiences throughout the year by supporting such activities as:
- Visits from Authors
- Theatre Groups
- Artist in the School
- Agenda Subsidies
- Scientist in the School
- Grade 8 Graduation
- Technology
- First Communion
- Sports Teams
- Transportation for Trips and Teams
- Welcome to Kindergarten
- Teacher Allotments
- Music Program
How Much to Donate?
Each and every individual family is encouraged to do their part and donate what they are able. With 600 students at the school, if every child made a donation of $25, we would reach our goal to raise $15,000. If you are able to give more or gather donations from friends and family, that is greatly appreciated. Multi-child families may collect donations on a single form with all children’s names, grades and teachers listed. All donations are greatly valued and we thank you for your support.

Online payment consultation
Dear St. Brigid Families,
The TCDSB is considering implementing an online application that would permit parents to make payments electronically through two methods.
Method 1: Parents can securely transfer funds from their bank account directly to an online ‘myWallet’ account. When they wish to make a payment to the school, they simply add an item to their shopping cart and pay for the item from their ‘myWallet’ account.
Method 2: Parents can use a credit card such as VISA or MasterCard
Using this electronic payment application, for large payments such as overnight trips, parents would also be able to pay through installments.
In order to offer this application, the TCDSB would have to charge a 1% administrative fee to help offset the cost of the application. To do this schools would set their charges 1% higher.
For example, an item that costs $9.90 would cost $10.00.
At the time of the purchase, $9.90 would remain in the school account to pay for the item and $0.10 would go directly to the TCDSB central account to help offset the cost of the online application.
In order to gauge interest in such an online application, we are engaging in a consultation process, in the form of a short survey.
The survey is open now and will close on Tuesday 7 March at 12 noon.
To participate in the survey, please click on this link: www.surveymonkey.com/r/Onlinepaymentconsultation
