I want to support the school but can’t attend meetings.

There are always opportunities to support the school and its students beyond attending KEEPAC meetings.  Volunteers are needed for:

• Supporting classroom and school events
• Supervising field trips
• Assisting in the library
• Fundraising & school promotion
• Maintaining the Naturescape
• Updating bulletin boards
• Casino

KEEPS- King Edward Education Parent Society

KEEPS is the fundraising group for King Edward Elementary.  Due to school council guidelines, KEEPS is a separate entity from KEEPAC, though the executive volunteers remain the same.   KEEPS is responsible for the distribution of funds raised through our Casino fundraising.

 These funds are used to support various activities within the school:

• Arts Enrichment
• Running Club
• Field Trips
• Library Collection
• Classroom Technology (including Chrome Books, Smart Boards, and iPads)
• Teaching and Learning Aids
