Friends and families of Academy at King Edward,

Due to the pandemic, the Parents’ Foundation has been unable to host in-person fundraising events that support our students. Your generous donations in the past have funded field trips, technology, musical instruments, books, art supplies, and so much more. Because of you, each student is given the chance to reach their potential because they have the resources they need to succeed.

This year, we are in need of funds to support the extrinsic reward program, school sanctioned field trips, additional fitness equipment, and the procurement of a minimum of 80 new Chromebooks.

Please consider investing in our students by donating today and in the future. A little bit goes a long way and there are many ways to give this year and next year:

The Best Option:

• If you want 100% of your donation to go to AKE, consider donating directly to the school.
  Write a cheque to the Academy at King Edward and receive a tax receipt for your contribution. Mail cheques to: Academy at King Edward, 8525 -101 Street NW, Edmonton, AB, T6E 3Z4

Second Best Option:

• Participate in any of the ongoing Parent Foundation’s fundraisers:
  Mabel’s Labels – To place an order go to Mabelslabels.ca. At the top of the page click on
  “support a fundraiser”, choose Academy at King Edward Parent Foundation (Edmonton) and place your order.
  TruEarth eco-friendly products. Lots of great products to choose from. Help the AKE kids AND save the planet! A definite win – win! https://fundraising.tru.earth/AKE
  Boston Pizza – We all love pizza! Save your receipts and hand them in to the school. It is that easy! Boston Pizza will then give the AKE Parent Foundation a percentage of the total collected.

• Participate in the new fundraisers:  Purdy's Chocolate - just in time for Easter, and the Silent Auction, for more information please visit Schoolzone.

• Another Option: Donate your time by joining the Parent Council. All aunties, uncles and family supportersare welcome. Our meetings are held monthly, and you can find the link to upcoming meetings on SchoolZone or email akeparentsfoundation@gmail.com

• Students and their families have worked hard through school disruptions, and we know how pandemic fatigued you must be. The impacts of Covid-19 are still here, but with your support, students can continue to receive essential opportunities for growth and development and achieve academic success. If you have any questions or would like more information, please email the Parent Foundation at:  akeparentsfoundation@gmail.com

Thank you!

And a huge thank you to parents who have already donated, we appreciate the support!
