Rogers PAC Holiday Fundraisers

To give Rogers Families a choice this year, PAC is offering two fabulous fundraising events:

#1 Poinsettia Fundraiser is your chance to purchase traditional Holiday flowers…these make wonderful gifts for friends and family who are ‘hard’ to buy for!!

#2  Canadian Community Reading Plan Magazine Fundraiser is always a favourite at Rogers!  You don’t even have to fill out an order form! Just order magazines on-line… You can even re-new current subscriptions!

We love that the Canadian Community Reading Plan Inc. is 100% Canadian owned and operated. BONUS: The best part of this fundraiser is that it promotes reading at home!

ONLINE SCHOOL CODE: BC2272

Please remember, proceeds from these fundraisers assist Rogers PAC in funding Field Trips, Classroom Supplies, Guest Presentations, Chess Lessons, Aqua Sports and countless other items. This year we are also hoping to fund for newer technology for the students and teachers.

Thank you so very much for your participation and generosity – it’s because of your support that we can help fund items and events that make Rogers Elementary the great school it is!
