Kick-Start Appeal
The 2020 Kick-Start campaign has "kicked off", with the following letter from the PAC Executive.
October 15, 2020
Dear New and Returning Tennyson Families,
We are a month and a half into the new school year at Lord Tennyson. Typically, at this time of year, we would be reaching out to our parent community for donations to fund our annual budget of student enrichment programs. This year is not typical. The PAC is pleased to announce that due to savings from the abbreviated 2019 / 2020 school year, as well as the fundraising work of our Quebec 2020 families, we are in the very fortunate position to be able to run an enhanced COVID budget without additional fundraising. You can view the 2020 / 2019 PAC budget HERE. We are incredibly grateful to be in this position.
As we look to the future however, there will be a need for funds to augment and enhance our new school. Because of this, today we are launching a new and focused KICK-START fundraising campaign, dedicated towards the new school.
We understand that many families have experienced financial hardship during the past several months and we do not want to add to any financial stress. If it is not within your means to give at this time, please know there is no pressure. If you are able to donate, we are suggesting $20/$25 per child. More or less is always greatly appreciated.
Donations can be made at any time during the year, however, we are looking to complete the Kick-Start campaign in December so we are able to plan our budget. As an incentive, you will receive a tax-deductible receipt for your online donation (receipts cannot be issued for cheque donations)
HOW TO DONATE:
Thank you! The Tennyson PAC Team
