S.O.S. - SAVE OUR SNACKS!

Rawlinson Community School needs your help! Our nutrition/snack program is short on funds and we would like to ask that if you’re able to donate, we would be so appreciative! Our snack program is shutting down as of April 19th unless we can raise enough money!!

The snack program is very important to our school community, as it provides 2 food items each day to any student that needs food. With such a large school population and food costs rising, our grant money has run out. April 19th could be the last day of snacks for our kids!

If you know of any businesses who might wish to donate toward our snack program, please provide them with the link below. Remember to specify Rawlinson C.S.

(Note: to receive a tax receipt, please pay by cheque, with the Payee as TFSS and write Rawlinson C.S. in the description) - can they drop the cheque off at the main office??

Thank you for considering a donation to this important program for our kids!

Tomorrow, Monday, March 11, 2024, marks the first week of Ramadan, one of the holiest months of the Islamic calendar. During the month of Ramadan, Muslims worldwide abstain from food and water from sunrise to sunset for 29 or 30 consecutive days - as determined by the lunar calendar. Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam. Muslims break their fast each evening with a communal dinner called an iftar. During Ramadan, Muslims make every effort to recite the Qur'an, participate in extra prayers, engage in charity, and complete good deeds to reach a higher level of spiritually. Once the month is over, Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the festival of breaking the fast with family and friends, wearing special clothes and sharing gifts for up to three days.

We wish all our families observing

Today, Friday March 8th, marks . This is a global day of recognition and celebration of women and girls’ achievements.
