Gracefield School Council
Council Update September 2026
We’re thrilled to share our enthusiasm for the upcoming fundraisers and events on the horizon! These fun initiatives are all about fostering community spirit and creating inclusive experiences for our students.
Fall Fundraisers:
September: Mabels Labels
October: Big Box of Cards
November: Terra Cotta Cookie Company
Details for participating in these fundraisers are coming soon! Funds raised this year through fundraisers and Council Events will go towards supporting the teacher classroom fund, our playground maintenance fund, and the future purchase of a new projector and screen for the gymnasium.
We’re committed to offering a variety of fundraising opportunities that every family can choose what they would like to be a part of. Participation is completely optional but much appreciated, and we encourage you to join in the fun however you can! A huge thank you goes out to our amazing Teachers and Parents! Your involvement and support truly make a difference in enhancing our school environment.
