NEEDED! Ramsay School Stampede Parking Volunteers

 

From the Stampede Parking Fundraiser committee.

Sign up now to volunteer for our school's only fundraiser of the year!

We need to fill more than 150 volunteer shifts, between Thursday July 3 and Sunday July 13, and we need your help!

Every year, Ramsay School parents volunteer to run a parking lot on the hill above the school, for people headed to Stampede. From morning till night, teams of volunteers work together for a few hours at a time to sell parking tickets and help people park.

All the money (around $50,000) goes to Ramsay School. By giving your time, you ensure your child has free access to books, laptops, supplies, field trips, in-school experiences, and more.

To make sure our kids get what they need to learn and grow at Ramsay School, every one of us has to do our part.

It’s easy. No restrictions. Everyone can do it and we need everyone! - (No Volunteer Security Clearance needed)

Follow this link to sign up now: https://signup.com/go/CYiDBca

Please sign up for 1-2 shifts per child.

Sign up by Friday, June 13, 5 pm, to be entered to win the Early Bird Prize — a $100 gift certificate to gravitypope! See below for full list of prize draws.

More info below, and check the website to find out more! www.stampedeparking.com

Activity Day

Our whole school activity day will be taking place on June 24. Students will have an opportunity to participate in a variety of outdoor activities during the day.  We are pleased to share that Fit Set Ninja will once again be joining us for the day. Classes will have a scheduled time to work with instructors on an agility course. Students will be receiving an on-site activity form next week that needs to be completed and returned to their teachers. 

School Council is supporting this day by sharing an ice cream / frozen treat for each student (more information to follow).  

We have also opened a Subway Fun Lunch (through Healthy Hunger) for lunch on Activity Day for interested parents of grade 1-6 students. 

 

Volunteer Tea – June 12

Reminder: Please RSVP if you were or will be a Ramsay School volunteer this year, we would like to honor you! Please plan to join us for refreshments on June 12, 2025, from 9:30 – 10:30 am on the front terrace. Invite.pdf 

 

Student Absences

Please call the absentee Line – 403-777-6790 ex 1 when your child will be absent from school. Emailing the teacher and or the office is not always the best method to inform the school of your child’s absence as the teacher or office staff may be absent and this message would not reach the correct staff member in a timely manner. We thank you for your cooperation.
