About Connect Charter School

Connect Charter School is a middle school serving grades four through nine in Calgary, Alberta. The school is committed to fostering the development of extraordinary citizens and prides themselves on their innovative learning practices, inclusiveness, and empowering atmosphere.

Engaging their students with their exemplary technology practices and outdoor education experiences, Connect Charter School provides many unique experiences for their students. Outdoor education programs help students to see what they have been taught in the classroom in a real context.

One way the school supports these initiatives is through finding effective school fundraising ideas. Since 2020, Connect Charter School has returned to TeamFund Fundraising every Spring and Fall to stock up their freezers with Spolumbo’s, Bow River Meats, and recently added on 100% Fresh Canadian Bacon.

School Fundraising Made Tasty

The Parent-Teacher Association and volunteers are key to the success of Connect Charter School’s fundraising efforts. In partnership with local healthy food vendors and TeamFund, the school offers parents the opportunity to stock up on local sausages and meats while earning 20% of profits from all sales to support the school.

The best part? Our food fundraisers have online ordering, saving parents and organizers hours of time.

Airdrie & District Soccer Association raised over $5800 in their June 2023 Fill Your Freezer fundraiser.

This Fall, Connect Charter School raised $5803 towards upgrading their library and learning commons!

TeamFund tracks sales and provides real-time reporting so organizers can ensure the group is staying engaged throughout the campaign.

Organizers make sure the Connect Family gets their orders in before the deadline (without having to chase crumpled order forms in backpacks).
