Toonie Tuesday - Tuesday, February 2602/22/2019
WEJ is participating, along with many of the rest of the schools in the OCDSB, in the Toonie Tuesday fundraising initiative on Tuesday, February 26th. Toonie Tuesday supports the Education Foundation of Ottawa (EFO) and works with the OCDSB to help provide funding for individual students in the board who have various monetary needs because of financial hardship. All funds raised through this one-day event will go directly to EFO’s Students in Crisis Fund which supports the extraordinary and emergency needs of individual students including food, clothing, and medical needs.
We are asking that each student bring in a toonie or two on Tuesday, February 26th to help support this very worthwhile cause. As an entire school initiative we will be doing a differentiated Math lesson in the morning that spans all three divisions within our school. This will make for excellent mathematical collaborative learning opportunity as well as raise money for a fabulous cause!
