On Sept. 22, members of the Granite Ridge Education Centre Parents’ Council joined with administrative staff at the school to celebrate the end of a successful fundraising campaign. The parents’ council made a commitment to raise $22,000 to go along with an $11,000 commitment from the Limestone Board for an electronic sign at the front of the school.
It took 26 months to raise the money. Parents’ council members raised money at their Ladies’ Night events, through tea and coffee sales, Nevada funds, and through their share of proceeds from the annual Polar Plunge at the Frontenac Heritage Festival.
The sign provides a public face for the school and informs the school and local communities about upcoming events.
