BIG THANK YOU to BINGO Volunteers and SAC:
We'd like to give a big thank you to the Sinclair parents and guardians for volunteering to raise funds via Bingo at Play! Gaming and Entertainment. Ben DeBoer, Julie Dugan, Kaisi Ireland, Sean Foley, Brenda Kouri, Leah Publicover, Nicole Sullivan and Domink Wechler have raised over $25,000 to support Sinclair and its students. Thank you so much for giving your time to enhance the experience at our school. The bingo crew is always looking to add more volunteers to the roster. Please reach out to Chelsea Novak at bingorgsin@gmail.com if you are interested.
***Thank you to our SAC for their commitment and ongoing work behind the scenes to support staff and students in our work to improve resources and learning opportunities for all students!
Take care,
Ms. Closs
Principal
