Friends of Laurentian Elementary School

Friends of Laurentian Elementary School Friends of Laurentian Elementary School (F.O.L.E.S.) is a registered charity and non-profit of parents supporting Laurentian Elementary School in Lachute, QC.

Also known as Les Amis de l’école Primaire Laurentian, it is registered with the CRA. Welcome to the Friends of Laurentian Elementary School! We are a small dedicated group of parents whose children attend Laurentian Elementary School in Lachute. We are a registered charity with the Canadian and Quebec governments and we have been around since 1999. Our mission is to raise funds which allow for al

l students to go on an educational fieldtrip with their class every year. We also fund the busses for all students to go to a carnival event each winter. They choose between tubing or downhill skiing. In addition, we pay for school expenses like the permit to view movies within the school, special art classes for all students and music, gymnasium and audio-visual equipment. We raise money through community events like a fall BBQ, spring golf tournament, movie nights and staffing the Lachute fair gates. We sell items like Christmas trees and wreaths, cookie dough, cookbooks, flower bulbs, REGAL catalogue items, magazines, compost, etc. We also host a Nutritious breakfast every March which provides a healthy meal and educates the kids on eating well. We are always in need of new volunteers. We are a great group of dedicated and enthusiastic parents! Please consider coming to a meeting and volunteering some time. It is very rewarding!!
