Fundraising, Friendships and Family
The Georgian Parents’ Guild focuses on three areas within the school community: fundraising, friendships and family. It was another successful year for the Guild on the fundraising front, culminating in cutting our fourth of six $50,000 cheques to the Capital Campaign, along with $15,000 to RSGC Bursaries. Our annual cheese sale broke the previous sale record, while Mistletoe Market, Used Textbook and Used Uniform sales all had outstanding results.
The Guild promotes friendships and connections within our school community through events like our popular Parent Connections and Grade Parent socials. We co-host parental education programs with the school to present speakers addressing topics of interest to our community. We also give parents and families the chance to participate in community service events, both in and outside of our school.
The Guild’s success is a result of the work of our many wonderful volunteers. Your efforts are truly appreciated. It is inspiring to observe the dedication of Guild parents to our school. Thank you for all that you do for the Guild and RSGC.
It has been a privilege to serve as President and to get to know so many of you. A special thank you to the Executive for your support, encouragement and friendship. I will always treasure our shared experiences.
