FAIRVIEW PARENT ADVISORY COUNCIL CASINO AT DEERFOOT CASINO JUNE 8TH AND 9TH 2026
Fairview School Council Casino Fundraiser- We Need You! NO Experience Necessary
This is the most important fundraising event organized by the Fairview Parent Advisory Council to financially support Fairview School and our students. The funds raised directly benefit every student in our school community. Without enough volunteers, we will not be able to participate in this event, which would significantly impact the programs and opportunities we are able to provide.
We welcome parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and family members to volunteer — no police clearance is required for this event. Volunteers will be provided with non-alcoholic beverages and a meal during their shift.
This fundraiser plays a vital role in supporting our school, and we truly appreciate your time and commitment. Together, we can continue to provide meaningful opportunities for our students.
Thank you for supporting Fairview School!

During this engagement, you will have the opportunity to:
- Learn About
- School planning, which includes the school development plan, school budget and school fees
- How the school development plan sets the overall focus and direction for a school to improve student learning outcomes
- How the school budget provides funding to implement our school development plan
- School fees and why they are necessary
- Participate
- Participate in our School Councial meeting on March 10th at 6:30pm at Fairview School to learn more about school planning. There will be an opportunity to provide feedback at this meeting.
Watch this short video to learn about the planning work schools do to improve and support student learning.
