IMPORTANT - Upcoming Casino – Our Biggest Fundraiser – Volunteers Needed
We are gearing up for our biggest fundraiser of the school year and we need your help. Without volunteers we will not be able to benefit from the huge amount of funds (usually around $60 000) that this brings to the Alex Munro Parent Association (AMPA). Please, please sign up and ask your friends or relatives to consider signing up too! If we don’t fill the volunteer spots, we will lose the two nights of fundraising.
Alex Munro Parent Council will be at Ace Airport Casino on June 18th and June 19th, 2026, for our fundraiser with the AGLC. This two-day event will help us bring in much needed funds to help make our AMS school playground updates a reality.
There are roles for everyone from Bankers, Chip Runners, and Cash Room Counters. There are day and night shifts for both June 18th and June 19th and we need volunteers for all the time slots.
Everyone who volunteers gets a complimentary meal from Ace Airport Casino during their shift (the food is really good!) and of course the chance to help out the students of AMS get a more accessible playground with the gift of your time, and other needed items.
If you are interested in helping AMPA and Alex Munro School with this event, please complete the following sign up form. You can access it at this link (https://forms.gle/baghEoHMJTQoKoUz8). or click here for more details.
Growing Smiles Fundraiser
From April 30thth until May 18th, 2026, you can place orders online for beautiful hanging baskets and hanging ferns, marigolds, roses, veggies, succulents, herbs, strawberries, planters, AND wave petunias.
Orders will be available at the school for pick up on Thursday June 4th from approximately 2pm until 4:30pm.
