Wealthy Schools!
A school fundraiser that doesn't require you to buy stuff you don't want? Our P.A.C. has signed up with Wealthy Schools Revolution, it's simple, can actually save you money and may even be more convenient. The HD Stafford Middle School PAC would like to introduce you to our new and innovative fundraising program. The concept is pretty simple - Wealthy School Revolution is a locally based company who is changing the face of school fundraising by allowing parents to buy brand name products they're already purchasing and pick them up at the school. Schools earn up to 15% of the purchases ordered. If 50 supporters purchased $100/month over the course of 10 months with our bi-weekly delivery schedule, you could generate $7,500 for this school! The system is easy to use, there is no cost to you or the school for using it and schools that are in the Wealthy School Revolution program find it improves their fundraising efficiency and effectiveness.***The first 20 parents at HD Stafford Middle School who commit to spending just $50 per month on the wealthyschools.ca website will receive a 10% off coupon to use ALL school year!

Math Missile Program
A letter was sent home with grade 6 & 7 students informing parents of some good news. We have been given extra funding to hire an additional Math Teacher. This has resulted in smaller class sizes within the academic program for math instruction! The new classes have now been formed and we are continuing to see positive results from this initiative.
