Calling All Amazing School Families!
It’s that wonderful time of year — spring is in the air, closets are overflowing, and the urge to tidy up is REAL. What better way to channel that spring-cleaning energy than by participating in our 4th Annual Community Block Party & Yard Sale?
THIS EVENT IS HAPPENING Saturday, May 24th from 10am-2pm
Free Admission, Food Trucks, Music, Amazing Kids Play Areas – Volunteers Needed to make this year’s event EPIC!!
PARTICIPATE:
Pick up tables: at the Gym doors, starting at 9am, for set-up outside. Sale starts at 10am, (rain or shine!)
Families can reserve tables to sell your treasures! Kids welcome to sell small crafts.
1 table – $25
2 tables – $40
3 tables – $50
Table Rentals can be purchased here: https://doncaster.hotlunches.net
All funds raised from table rentals goes to support student and school initiatives through DPAC.
All sales (after purchase of table) by family vendors, is kept by family vendors.

Volunteer Sign-Up Please help out here: Volunteer Sign-Up
DONATE:
No time to sell yourself but still want to de-clutter? You can donate instead! DPAC will have a table available for you on Saturday morning to drop off your pre-owned treasures. We’re looking for clean, gently used clothing, toys, books, household goods, sports gear, games, and more — anything that could find a new home and help raise valuable funds for our kids and classrooms!
Why donate?
Because your once-loved items can help fund enrichment programs, classroom supplies, field trips, and so much more. Plus, it’s a win-win: you get to declutter, we get to raise money for our school, and our community gets to shop for a good cause!
Gonna be busy that Saturday but still want to help a great cause? No worries, this year we are collecting in the classroom for the entire month of May any gently used items we can sell to raise money to support a Refugee Sponsor to be re-united with his siblings here in Canada. What’s more Canadian then helping others? Bring your donations to your child’s class from May 1st to May 23rd to help Harold reach his goal. (Email DPAC for more information about this or come to the Yard Sale and check out all the exciting things associated with this spotlighted fundraiser – Raffle Prizes, Give Aways, Tax Deductible Receipts and more.)
Let’s make this the biggest and best yard sale and block party yet — we can’t do it without your support! Tell your neighbors, friends, and extended family too — the more, the merrier!
Thank you for helping us turn clutter into community magic!
With gratitude,
