Help Improve the School Grounds
Dear Lord Roberts community,
The PAC is launching its annual fundraising drive. In past surveys, parents have told us that they would like to improve the school grounds. While a major overhaul would take many years and involve a number of stakeholders, one thing we can accomplish this school year (with your help!) is to plant trees.
Why plant trees? Because they will provide shade as summers get hotter and make the outdoor area more beautiful. Tree planting will also give our teachers an opportunity to engage in outdoor education about trees and all the benefits they offer, such as absorbing carbon and providing wildlife habitat.
The PAC will work with the school’s administration, teachers and the VSB to plan which types of trees to plant where. If enough funds are raised, we hope that tree planting will happen in the spring of 2023. One tree can cost as much as $1000. So we can plan for 10 trees, we hope to raise $10,000.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to support tree planting on the school grounds - https://bit.ly/robertsPACdonate (please designate “E-Lord Roberts PAC” under "Fund destination").
We recognize that not all parents are in a position to donate. For those who can, any amount makes a difference. To reach the school’s goal, we recommend a donation of $150, but any amount is greatly appreciated. Donations of $5, $10 or $20 all add up too!
We are grateful to those of you who join me and other families in doing what they can to support our children, their classmates and teachers. Thank you for helping to support the Lord Roberts community and your child’s education.
