Student & Family Assistance Fund (SFAF) Special Purpose Grant
The Student & Family Assistance Fund (SFAF) Special Purpose Grant was implemented to support K-12 students and families and reduce some portion of the stress associated with their financial struggles brought on by abnormally high inflation. Recently, our school has received this grant from the government and we will be distributing the funds to families in our school community who request assistance. We will be giving families grocery gift cards to help with the rising cost of groceries. If you would like to take advantage of this special grant, please email the office by Friday, January 20th and we will distribute the funds in the coming weeks to families who could use a bit of extra help. Please send a brief email to Mrs. Dlugan at office@stjameselementary.ca and please reference the SFAF. We are looking forward to helping many families with this one-time grant.
