The winter break is coming …. AND WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Ms.Scott's 7/8 class is running a fundraiser called "Gifts From Me." We will transform Fairfield into a store and all students in the school will get an opportunity to do their very own winter break shopping. Gifts will be purchased, wrapped, tagged and ready to be placed right under the Christmas tree, given for Hanukkah or for a family birthday!

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE "GIFTS FROM ME" A SUCCESS!!!

Ms.Scott and her students are asking for your help with the following:

*We need donations … lots and lots of donations!

These donations can be anything that a child might purchase to give as a gift – trinkets, old jewelry, decorations, ornaments, hats/mitts/scrafs, purses/wallets, cups/mugs etc. – anything that would make a great gift. (Not to be picky but please no VHS movies, CDs or large kitchen appliances.)

If you could please pass the word to family members, neighbours, friends, co-workers we will take anything they would like to donate.

Donations can be brought to the school anytime from now until December 6th.

(Please specify to the office they are for Gifts From Me or send donations with your son/daughter which can be given to Ms.Scott.)

*We also need Christmas gift wrapping supplies.

Any extra wrapping supplies (wrapping paper, gift bags, tissue paper, tape, etc) we will take them!

Thank you so much for helping us with this fundraiser! Stay tuned for shopping details 😊

We hope to see you at School Council Meeting on Wednesday, December 4th at 6:00. School aged children are provided with free babysitting! Thank you to all the people who turned out to our first meeting! We can't wait to see you again!
