Sun-Oka Fruit Farm Apple Fundraiser
We want to make sure this school year is more fruitful than ever, so we are very pleased to announce that this year we will be running an exciting new fall fundraiser!
We have partnered up with a distinguished Okanagan orchard to sell their delicious farm-fresh apples. And because we’re sourcing them directly from the grower, we can sell them at well below grocery store prices and still get to keep a substantial amount of profit from each sale.
This is a great opportunity to earn some significant, and important, funds for our school. Each box sold will contribute either $8 or $10 to our treasury. That adds up quickly. Just complete a quick and easy registration process and then share your link with your contacts. Sweet and simple!

We fundraise! Because we need to and because it's fun! Throughout the school year, there are a number of different fundraising initiatives. We ABSOLUTELY need parent volunteers to help! And if you have a great idea for how we can fundraise, please let us know!
