Loads Of Family Fun At Loughbrough PS

Jun 20, 2013

Hats off to the Parent Council at Loughborough Public School in Sydenham who entertained hundreds of students and their families on June 14 under sunny skies at their annual fundraiser, which was back this year after a one-year hiatus.

Multiple events took place inside and outside the school and included many games, a presentation by Ray's Reptiles in the school gym, demonstrations by the Frontenac OPP, Fire Department and ambulance services, and a bake sale in the school’s main foyer. In the library a silent auction fundraiser took place with many notable donations from local businesses and individuals. Also up for grabs was an impressive selection of fine art paintings, created by LPS students and representing each of the individual classrooms at the school. Jason Silver played his acoustic guitar and provided the perfect musical back drop to the day.

Christine Marshall, chair of the LPS parent council, was pleased with the turnout. She said that the funds raised by the fun fair will go towards supporting the school’s music department and program, which was brought back this year after a few years’ absence. Funds will also be used to put in a new technology system at the school called Synervoice, which uses an automated messaging service to let parents know of upcoming events at the school.a
