FUNDRAISING APPEAL
Clifford Bowey Public School depends on fundraising efforts to support school programs and new initiatives. Over past years, donations to the school have contributed towards the Snoezelen room, swimming pool equipment, climbing wall, items for the toy library, and classroom learning materials. The school recently installed a new primary playground and an accessible senior playground. Our newest project is the building of a Safety Village to teach our students about road safety. The specialized equipment and materials required by our students are significantly more costly than mainstream products.
Our students are among the most vulnerable children and youth in the Ottawa region. They depend on the care of the people around them for their daily needs and require a specialized education approach to develop new skills. Our students also have smiles that will light up a room, and they work very hard towards their goals. We celebrate all their successes, however big or small.
Throughout the year, the School Council runs a number of fundraisers internal to the school population. These fundraisers have included dinner events, an annual swimathon, bake sales, chocolate bar sales, and a table at the Great Glebe Garage Sale. Our goals are not only to raise money for the school, but to create opportunities for student involvement and to raise public awareness of people with developmental disabilities.
Due to the complex needs of our students, many of our families are overwhelmed on many levels - practical, emotional, and financial. Some of our students are living in group homes or are crown wards and therefore have a limited ability to contribute to school fundraisers. For these reasons, we are reaching out to the greater Ottawa community for support.
