We are writing to you on behalf of the John Calvin School Fall Fest Committee, asking for a donation from your establishment for our school’s fall fundraising event. We are so thankful for all the support and encouragement we received last year from our community. With everyone’s help we were able to raise over $36,000! We look forward to yet another successful year. We are planning an in-person, outdoor event for October 22, 2022 at John Calvin School. 

John Calvin School is situated at 320 Station Street and is privately funded by members of the Canadian Reformed School Society of Smithville and surrounding area. The students are bused in from St. Catharine’s, Vineland, Jordan, Beamsville, Grimsby, and Smithville areas. Because we are privately funded, holding the bazaar enables us to purchase the necessary improvements for the children’s curriculum, as well as allows the teachers to purchase many in-class supplies that would otherwise have to be budgeted for. It enhances our physical education programs and allows for enjoyable field trips. The bazaar has always been well attended by the students, their families and the neighboring community.
