Welcome to Collingwood School's Fundraising Hub!
Your support is invaluable in enriching the educational journey of our students. Fundraising enables us to provide enriching opportunities and experiences for our students, such as the ongoing purchase of Spanish books, the gaga ball pit, musical instruments, and many amazing resources and residencies, such as SOGO and this year’s visiting visual artist. Each year we host a number of passive fundraisers and organize several fundraising campaigns and events. See the details below!
At Collingwood School, we believe in working as a team to foster a vibrant and dynamic learning environment, and your contributions make this possible. Whether it's through volunteering donations, fundraising support, or sharing your expertise, every effort counts towards our collective success. ¡Trabajamos en equipo!

The Collingwood School Parents’ Association is pleased to partner with Growing Smiles again this year for our Poinsettias Fundraiser!
Poinsettias and other winter plants are now available to order on our fundraising website. Bring the beautiful colours of the nochebuena to your home this holiday season!
Last year we sold 197 plants; help us reach our goal of selling 280 plants this year!
All funds raised will go directly to Escuela Collingwood to provide each teacher with a budget of $100 per class for specialized art projects, incentives, decorations, or class books. The funds we raise are important for providing additional resources that will enrich and enhance our kids’ learning.
