TERRA Holiday Fundraiser 2024

A reminder to our families that the School Council is very pleased to be hosting the TERRA Holiday Fundraiser in preparation for the holiday season!   50% of the profit will be put towards funding for new technology resources and 50% will go towards the School Playground Project.

Please see the TERRA Holiday Fundraiser 2024 Catalogue which includes the order form and guidelines on how to care for your poinsettia (this can be found under School Council on the website https://www.ugdsb.ca/o/ocps/page/school-council ).

Orders are due December 4, 2024 and can be made through the order form (please make cheques payable to Ottawa Crescent PS) or with School Cash Online.

The products will be delivered and ready for pick up at the school on Tuesday December 10th (pick up time will be communicated closer to the delivery date). We ask that every effort be made to pick up your order then. If this is not possible, please make arrangements for someone to get your order for you.
