Last week's soccer club vs. parents and teachers match was so much fun! Thanks to AMPA for sponsoring the event and thank you to DJ Chris for the great music. Thank you parents who came out to play, and also thank you to the Dance Club for such a great half time show. It was a great way to come together as a community!
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 lose our casino and 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!
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. .
