Casino Fundraiser - Elbow River Casino


Our school has been given the dates for our very critical Casino fundraiser at Elbow River Casino. This year we were given:

  • November 3rd & November 4th

Casino fundraisers bring our school a HUGE chunk of money that we use to put towards our in-school residencies and to enrich our school's learning environment. Additionally, this money can help support bussing for field trips, art, physical education and Indigenous residencies as well as many other things. However, we cannot hold the Casino fundraiser without our community's volunteers. If you, your family members, or friends are available that weekend we would greatly appreciate your help! You do not need a police clearance. Thank you so much to our awesome community and let's get those spots filled, with how many amazing families we have in Ron Southern I'm sure this will be an easy feat!

Healthy Hunger

We are beginning our Healthy Hunger Fundraising with Fun Lunch at the end of October. This is a great opportunity to save some time in the mornings and have a warm lunch brought to school for your child(ren).  

Please visit https://healthyhunger.ca to create an account. Once you are set up add “Ron Southern School” and your select your child's Teacher name from the list. 

All orders must be in before midnight five days before each event. 

** Fun Lunch is only available for Grades 1 to 6 and EES**

We would like to remind you, if your child is away and you would like to pick up their lunch, please email the school at ronsouthern@cbe.ab.ca. The email must include student name, teacher name and time of pickup. Pickup will only be available during the day of the Fun Lunch after 1:00pm and before 3:00pm.


Please note that if we do not receive your email by 11:00 AM on the day of the Fun Lunch, the lunch will be donated.

Due to food handling regulations, we are required to dispose of all unclaimed food by the end of day. 


Mabel's Labels

Ron Southern Parent Society is also excited to announce we have partnered with Mabel’s Labels! This fundraiser will continually run throughout the year, so you may purchase at any time.  

Click here and select Ron Southern to support our school and get yourself some very useful name tags, stickers and even a stamp! They are so handy especially with colder weather coming, those jackets and outdoor wear will find their way into the lost and found!
