The Bay - Giving Day
This year TFMS will be participating in an exciting new fundraiser! This
fundraiser, in association with The Bay Canada, takes place on Saturday,
November 1st, 2008. Through TFMS, parents, students, friends and family are able
to purchase tickets to The Giving Day. The Giving Day is a one day event within
The Bay which allows ticket holders 15% off all purchases made on that day. As
well as the 15% off, the ticket holders will experience a fun day of shopping,
full of activities, live entertainment and contests! Tickets are available
through the school’s reception for $5 each. They make an excellent gift for
family and friends. The entire $5 from the ticket purchase comes back to the
school. We ask that all parents please partake in this fundraiser, as it will
help the school greatly. The Giving Day is a one day event, through which The
Bay has decided to give back to its community. It is an excellent way for you to
save a bit of money on your Christmas shopping and have fun doing it! The Bay
kindly asks that each person only use one ticket, and that their purchases are
not shared with people. Thank you for your support in advance!
