Project Overview• Every start of the school year the calendar is given to
every family so that it may be placed in the family home in the “Family Central Communication Zone” ie. The kitchen area, the study
• The calendar highlights special dates throughout the year such as Spirit Days, Assemblies, School holidays and other events.
• The calendar also highlights Day 1, 2, etc. Notification of these dates allows parents and guardians to plan accordingly in order to attend these events or prepare their children for these events

Student Success• Promoting a healthy lifestyle by encouraging
outdoor activities and awareness of activities at the local Recreation Center
• Building partnerships with our families and with the larger community (Parks and Recreation Center)
• Encouraging “out-of-the-box” thinking concepts by introducing students to new experiences, which in their “normal” weekend routine they may not have incorporated

Budget• Each Spring we ask for donations from Families and
School Staff
• We solicit donations from Community Businesses for printing costs and for the purchase of monthly prizes
• Donors are recognized by having their names printed on the calendar pages along with their business logos
• A portion of the Parent Engagement Funds have been used to support the calendar
• The total printing cost of the calendar is approximately $3500
• The total for the prizes is approximately $1500

Impact• Initially data was collected with respect to the number
of ballots returned and the kinds of activities families were doing together
• In an effort to increase the number of ballots, especially during the colder winter months, we began giving out small prizes such as bookmarks and pencils for each ballot that was submitted
• We also created a grand prize draw for a gift certificate for the CN Tower and an indoor water park. Families who handed in multiple ballots over several months were entered in the draws

Impact• Over the 4 years that we have been doing this
project we have received significant feedback from our parents about how helpful the calendar is for their family
• Annually we have asked School Council for specific feedback and they consistently tell us that they don’t know how they could manage without the calendar
