Created By Kids Art Fundraiser: Unfortunately, the shipment with CJP’s art project orders has been delayed in transit. We are working with the vendor to get this resolved and get an updated timeline on when the items will arrive at the school. We apologize for this delay and will update on our social media channels once the orders are being distributed to your students. We appreciate your understanding. If you have any questions or concerns about your order please contact fundraising@cjppa.ca

Current Volunteer Opportunities: 

Binder Time: We are looking for parent/guardian volunteers to provide one-on-one support to students in Grades 1/2 & 2/3, helping them with letter sounds and blending. Volunteers are asked to commit to one shift per week for 6 weeks, starting Thursday, Dec 5th. Afternoon shifts are available. 

Home Reading Book Exchange: Grade 1/2 and 2/3 classes need volunteers to help with weekly book returns and selections, fostering literacy and a love of reading. You may also assist with the Binder Time Literacy Program during downtime. A schedule will be provided, your support makes a difference! 

Join the Work Bee: Assist with tasks that help teachers and staff improve student learning. Flexible morning and afternoon shifts make it easy to get involved. Connect with other parents and guardians and make a positive impact during our monthly Volunteer Work Bee.

Fun Lunch: Our next Fun Lunch will be on Wednesday, Dec 18th, featuring A&W. Looking ahead, our next Fun Snack is scheduled for Dec 19th for Kindergarteners and Dec 20th for Grades 1–6.
