Hello Hawk Families!
Welcome to our fundraising page! There are many ways you can contribute to our school’s success and have a positive impact on our students. Volunteering your time, sharing your expertise or technical knowledge, and participating in our fundraising campaigns are three wonderful ways to support our students. The school also welcomes cash and in-kind donations. We appreciate all forms of support!
For fundraising, we enjoy a mutually beneficial relationship with several businesses with whom we have partnered. These are businesses that support Battalion Park School when you as customers either select BPS or mention our name upon purchase.
Ongoing Fundraisers:
Aspen Landing and Westhills locations
When you purchase their delicious, fresh baked goods simply tell them you are supporting Battalion Park School and they will put 5% of your purchase towards our account at no cost to you.
Designed especially for kids! Extra-durable, waterproof labels perfect for backpacks, clothes, lunch containers, shoes, toys and more.

Drop and Go: advise the staff at the depot you want the proceeds of your refundables to go to Battalion Park School and we will receive 100% of the funds.
Scheduled Fundraisers:
School Apparel – “School Spirit Raiser”

Once a year, your children will be able to create an art piece in the classroom that can be turned into greeting cards to give out to family and friends. You can purchase your own child’s art cards with their art on the front and their name and age on the back.
Our school can earn up to 40% of the proceeds from the sales.
In the fall, when the apples are freshly picked from this wonderful family-owned orchard in Vernon, BC, we will arrange for a delivery of pre-ordered apple boxes for your family to enjoy.
Go to our Square Shop here to purchase your apples!!

Several times a year we will arrange for a trailer from Springbank Bottle Depot to collect your bottles in the community rink parking lot with all proceeds going to our school.
