Dovercourt Dance-a-Thon is coming on November 22nd!

Dust off your dancing shoes! The annual Dovercourt Dance-a-Thon fundraiser is coming up on Friday, November 22nd, 2024!

The Dance-a-Thon is a fabulous way for our kids to shake it in the gym while raising funds for our school. Every class will take a turn busting moves to playlists by Dovercourt’s Student Council.

This is a free activity—there is no cost to participate. That said, we are encouraging Dovercourt students to get involved by:

• Bringing a non-perishable food item to donate to our neighbours at Oasis Dufferin Community Centre, and/or
• Raising cash, cheque, or online pledges from friends, neighbours, and family to support their dancing. ​

All money raised through our Dance-a-Thon will directly support activities at our school.

We're fundraising to support: 

• Affordable arts enrichment programs at the school;
• Materials for enrichment activities (e.g. the wood shop);
• STEM and art enrichment kits;
• And more.

Investments like these make our school more equitable and enriching for all students. We’re raising money to put kids first!
