Our students thrive in the unique setting OSF provides and we work hard to keep our program relevant and engaging. This means purchasing technology, paying guest artists and speakers, and purchasing high quality wood veneers and art supplies.
Although we get funding from the TDSB we need about 10x more to keep our classroom going. Our teachers apply for grants, but we seek community support in a few ways:
Commissioned skateboards, financial and in-kind donations and collaborators donating time and energy.
