Welcome to our School Council page. Sandowne has a very committed and involved Council, and we’re looking forward to an even more diverse council with the participation of many new Sandowne parents and caregivers (formerly Elizabeth Ziegler). Along with very active fundraising , our Council is involved with countless initiatives:
- Volunteering at the school
- Organizing and/or collaborating on school-wide events such as family nights and school celebrations
- Researching and running fundraising initiatives for the school that offer opportunities to further enrich our students’ school experiences
- Community support such as the Sandowne Helping Sandowne initiative
Our Council meets from 7 – 8pm on the second Wednesday of most months. School Day messages will be sent as reminders. Our first meeting is Wednesday September 17th in our school library. Most subsequent meetings will also have a virtual option making it possible for you to attend from home. If you’re unfamiliar with the council and role, we hope you’ll attend the first meeting to learn more!
This past year, our Council Co-Chairs were Alex Weston and Delali Hotsonyame. Steve Kingston was our Treasurer and Kayla Crone was our Secretary. These positions will be voted on early this school year.

As a council, we’ve been able to support class field trips, in-school learning extensions, author visits and technology replacement in recent years. This year, council is also committed to supporting our nutrition program to help ensure that all students have access to food. Your generous contributions have been a real difference in our students’ experiences at school!
