Volunteer
Selkirk School is a small, independent school whose success depends upon the participation and contributions of it's valued community members. We invite you to volunteer time in the classrooms, donate services, and participate in work parties and fundraising. Every effort, no matter how small, is appreciated, and contributes toward creating a nurturing and supportive environment for our children.
Use E-scrip
The E-scrip program is an easy way to contribute to Selkirk School's success every time you shop. Participating retailers give a percentage of your purchases directly to the school. Signing up is easy. Use the link to your left or go to www.escrip.com . In our community, Safeway is the main retailer accessible on the site. Yokes also has a card, which you can ask for at the store. Then go to the site to register the card number with escrip. The school can do this for you if you prefer.
Getting distant relatives to sign up is a great way for them to participate in your children's lives from afar.
You can also contribute when spending online, by clicking on the online mall link and downloading the AUTOEARN tool.
Fundraisers
Approximately 25% of our operating budget comes from fundraising. Parents are expected to participate in, and contribute donation items for our two main fundraisers. In the Fall we celebrate the season with our Annual Giving Champain. Spring brings the wildly fun Spaghetti Feed and Dessert Auction. We also have a (all family donated) yard sale in the spring. Fundraising allows us to keep our tuition affordable, and ensures the financial viability of the school.
Donate
If you want to help the school in a very material way, please consider a donation of one of the items from our 2010/2011 Wish List. All donations are tax deductible.
