A very special message....

Santa is in Collingwood today for the Santa Claus Parade this evening at 5pm.

I was lucky enough to get a very special meeting with him this morning!

Here is the message he wanted to send all the boys & girls at Cameron St. Public School!

Thanks so much Santa!  

Theme Baskets

For Cameron's Christmas Surprise we are once again doing a classroom themed basket raffle.

Each class has been assigned a theme and students are being asked to bring in items for the basket that go along with the theme or a minimum of a $2 donation so that we may purchase other items to fill the baskets. 

Please have the items back to the school by Wednesday November 30th.

Ecofundraiser

It was such a great fundraiser last year, that we have once again teamed up with the Environment Network to being you the eco-fundraiser!

All orders are due back to the school by Monday November 28th.

If you need another order form please let school council know cameroncouncil@hotmail.ca

Happy "Green" Shopping!

Thank you for supporting both Cameron Street Public School and The Environment Network!

PA Day - FUNdraiser

Thinking about what you're going to do with your children this Friday, November 18th for the P.A Day?  

Much like last year, Cameron St. School Council has arranged a fun and exciting FUNdraiser with Crock A Doodle  in the Village @ Blue Mountain. 

You can spend some time with your children at Crock A Doodle painting, making fun memories and possibly even taking care of some of the gifts on your Christmas list!  Crock A Doodle has a ton of great pottery pieces for you to choose from!  ( You can click here to view many of their products online... ) 

All you need to do to take part in this "fun"draiser is to head up anytime between 10am - 7pm on Friday November 18th and tell them that you are a member of the Cameron St. School Family! 

Check out all the great pottery pieces, pick out what piece or pieces you wish to paint, paint them, pay for them ( remember to mention you are a member of the Cameron St. School Family ) and head back up in a couple days to pick it up after it's been fired.  It is so much fun, you are going to want to join your children and paint a piece yourself! 

How is this a fundraiser you ask,?  

Well much like last year, Crock A Doodle has once again generously offered to give our school a % from every piece of pottery that our Cameron Street families paint this Friday!  How great is that!!  You get to spend some time having fun creating special works of art with your children, possibly even creating some beautiful Christmas presents if you so wish, and at the same time you are raising money for our school!  Fantastic!Huge thanks from the Cameron Street School Council to Crock A Doodle for allowing us to set up this great "fun"draiser! 

Happy Creating!
