Tupper Annual Thrift Initiative!
We take gently-used, clean clothing items donated by our school community and resells them to students they have a second life! It supports our school's conscious efforts in promoting environmental sustainability whilst also helping contribute to causes within the school. This year we'd like to contribute funds towards new computers.
If you are up for the task of spring cleaning, please consider putting aside gently-used, clean clothing items and accessories to contribute towards our sale.
We will be accepting donations for two weeksfollowing Spring Break from March 30th – April 10th.
Donations can be made to Ms. Lau’s classroom in Room 413.
We will hold the thrift sale for a week at the end of April to students during lunch hour.
All remaining unsold items will be sorted and donated with intent to specific charities based on the clothing type. Last year we donated to My Sister's Closet, Still Fabulous (subsidiary to Women’s and Children’s Hospital), Working Gear, and Covenant House.
Thank you for your consideration and time in helping with this initiative!

Looking for NEW PAC Execs
〰️
Looking for NEW PAC Execs 〰️
Tupper is a special place with a strong sense of community among families, staff, and students.
Our Parent Advisory Council (PAC) has played a crucial role in building our community by supporting initiatives, helping families stay connected, and giving parents a voice at the school.
To keep the PAC strong, we need new Executive members. Most of our current team has been serving for many years, and many of us have children who will soon be graduating. It has been a rewarding experience, but it is also essential to bring in new parents so that the Tupper PAC can continue to thrive into the future.
Serving on the PAC Executive is a fantastic way to meet other families, contribute to the school, and make a direct impact on the student experience.
If we do not bring in new Executive members now, we risk losing the momentum and sustainability that make our PAC effective.
We would love for you to consider stepping into a role. You don't need any prior experience, only an interest in helping build our community. Training and support will be provided.
If you are interested, or even just curious about what is involved, please reach out to us and join in our monthly PAC meetings.
We would be happy to chat and answer any questions.
Together, we can keep the Tupper PAC strong and ensure that our school community continues to thrive.
Warmly,
2025-2026 Tupper PAC Executive
