Membership in Home & School
It’s that time of year again to register as a member of the KDSS Home & School Association. We don’t fundraise aggressively and our presence in the hallways is very limited but it’s still a valuable experience. ~We meet the second Tuesday of each month at 6:30 pm in the Library.
Think of it as a Win-Win-Win-Win situation.

- Studies consistently show that kids with involved / engaged parents do better in school than those who don’t!
You get:
- A monthly invitation to find out what’s happening at KDSS.
Opportunity to ask questions.
- Have your say and know it has influence.
You can help decide on School Enrichment Initiatives (we have some money to spend).
- Help deliver those same initiatives.

KDSS gets:
- Another informed voice helping shape policy.
- Parent-Teacher involvement.

Grocery Tapes
Bringing or sending your Zehrs grocery tape receipts to KDSS helps us to raise funds. KDSS receives a percentage of the value of the Zehrs tapes that we collect and collate. Please bring or send your Zehrs tapes in to the box by the office window or give them to any Home and School or School Community Council member.
Fundscrip 2011-2012
Dear Parents of KDSS:
Every year KDSS organizes a fundraising program to raise much needed funds. The money we earn helps to pay for ‘extras’ not covered by the school budget. We provide money for Campaigns: H&S, Robotics, Music, Outdoor Education Course, Environmental Sustainability Initiatives, Transportation, Trips, All Activities &
Sports: VB, BB, H (please put sport initial by your name when ordering).
To reach our fundraising goal, we have chosen FUNDSCRIP.
FundScrip costs you nothing!
Picture this: You make your usual visit to the grocery store. You fill your cart and go to the check out. Instead of paying with cash or a debit card, you use a gift card that you purchased through our school. It costs you nothing extra but you just earned money for KDSS. You can use FundScrip cards to purchase your everyday essentials such as groceries, gas and clothing. You can even use them at restaurants or for a cup of coffee. Please go to www.findscrip.com/retailers to see the complete list of participating retailers.
How does FundScrip work?
All you have to do is buy gift cards from FundScrip for the stores where you already shop. You spend the gift cards just like cash and in the process, earn money for KDSS campaigns.
The gift cards are the retailers own cards that are swiped at the cash. The value of the purchase is automatically deducted from the value stored on the card. Any remaining balance can be used for future purchases.
