“We are excited to welcome the community for this exciting fundraising event,” said Teresa Tataryn, principal, Fairview Elementary School. “The last two years have been a huge success and we loved the opportunity to bring the community together. We hope to do the same this year.”

All the proceeds go towards enhancements of the school’s resourcing.

“Together with community partners, resources and grant funding we will realize the vision for an environment where warmth, belonging, safety, community and culture draw a child into readiness for learning,” added Tataryn.

“The opportunities that are provided help to give students equitable experiences that are foundational to learning, growth and future success. Belonging, mastery, independence and generosity are the keys in this ongoing project that build resilience from hardship. We embrace student needs, inspire learning and nurture hope.”
