The Runnymede HSA/Parent Council runs the FUN & FUNDRAISING events that we love every year, and these activities also help raise funds required to deliver the many “extras” that we have come to expect as standard for our children at Runnymede. All proceeds from all Fun & Fundraising committee events go to enrichment activities for Runnymede!
Every year we raise money to benefit all students!!
We hope to run the following events in 2026/2027 but we need more volunteers to run events, and take on the lead role for many events. We currently have no volunteer FUN & FUNDRAISING CHAIRS on the Runnymede HSA/Parent Council executive team!
Please reach out!
