CHEO Drive Donations

Hi Glebe Families. The CHEO Drive annual fundraiser is coming up soon. On Tuesday, May 6th, many students will be canvassing around the neighborhood to raise money for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. If you would like to donate, it would be greatly appreciated and you can scan our QR Code at the bottom of the email. We have a goal of raising $25, 000 and we need your help!

Volunteer Drivers

This fundraising event involves many different routes, some which are too far to walk to. This requires volunteer drivers to drop students off and pick them up at their designated route. If you have already completed the OCDSB volunteer process, we really need your help and would appreciate you volunteering on Tuesday, May 6th, from 5:30-8:00pm. Please contact Ms. McCutcheon at darcelle.mccutcheon@ocdsb.ca
