  • Donations: Calling all bakers and gardeners!  Looking for cakes and cupcakes for kiddos to win and yummy treats and plants to sell.
  • Silent Auction items: Own your own local business? Have gift cards to local shops and restaurants rattling around in a drawer? Unwanted gifts still in the box? Consider donating items to our silent auction.

All funds raised are used to enhance the learning experience of all students at Alta Vista. So join us on May 23, for another fun-filled event!

Cookie Dough Fundraiser – April 21 to May 28

Posted on April 19, 2026 by Lynne Scholten

We have an exciting and delicious opportunity to support Alta Vista Public School — and all it takes is ordering some incredible cookies!

School Council has partnered with Félix & Norton, Montreal’s original gourmet cookie company, to bring you a fundraiser that’s as sweet as it sounds. Every bag sold costs $18, and then earns $6 for our school programs, going directly toward initiatives that benefit your children.

Orders are open from April 21 to May 28, with delivery on June 12 — just in time for end-of-year celebrations!

How to order:

  1. Visit raisewave.com/storefront/join
  2. Enter the join code: JMRJQWFP
  3. Enter your name to get your personal fundraising link, which also lets family and friends place orders on your behalf — the more you share, the more we raise together.

On June 12, the frozen cookie dough will be distributed through classrooms at the end of the day or picked up by families.

Participation is completely voluntary, and every order — big or small — makes a real difference for our school community.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support of Alta Vista Public School.
