We are excited to announce our upcoming Fun Drive Fundraiser!
This fundraiser is a great way to support our school while also helping the environment by donating gently used items you no longer need. Every bag or box collected helps raise funds for our students and school initiatives.
We are collecting items such as:
- Clothing and shoes
- Bedding and linens
- Towels
- Stuffed animals
- Small household textiles and accessories
Please place donations in securely tied garbage bags or boxes.
Collection Date: May 22nd
Drop-Off Location: Island lake ps

This is a wonderful opportunity to clean out closets, reduce waste, and give back to our school community at the same time. We encourage families to ask grandparents, neighbours, friends, and extended family members to contribute as well!
Thank you for your continued support of Island Lake Public School. We truly appreciate your generosity and school spirit!

We are almost done Mental Health and Education Week! Today we are exploring strengthening connections. Being kind and inclusive helps everyone feel like they matter and belong at school. #MHUG
Today we are exploring confidence. Feeling supported helps us take risks, make mistakes, and grow as learners. #MHUG
Today we are focusing on calming our minds. When we calm our minds, we’re better able to focus, solve problems, and learn new things. #MHUG
