Christmas Events 2025

This year, our school will provide Christmas gift cards to families in need within our school community. It's a priority of ours to maintain everyone's dignity, and believe providing gift cards to those in need does just that. It gives families the flexibility to choose what they know their family needs, be it a meal or gifts. Families know what's best for their children.

We are hoping to have these cards by Friday, December 5, this way we know what we're able to provide families.

You can:

• Purchase Walmart gift cards in $20 denominations and deliver to the office, or
• Make a tax-deductible online donation to the school, which will be used exclusively to purchase these gift cards. (https://dpcdsb.schoolcashonline.com/Fee/Details/4/146/false/true?school=664&initiative=1)
