Only 21 Days to Go — Stoney Creek’s Biggest Fundraiser & Community Event! Stoney Creek’s Fun Fair (school carnival) is just around the corner, and we need your help to make it a success! This is our school’s largest fundraiser of the year, and every dollar raised goes straight back to Stoney Creek to support important school initiatives and resources that benefit all of our students.
We’re lucky to have a great group of high school volunteers helping to run the stations, but we still need adult volunteers to help supervise and keep things running smoothly. If you can spare even just 1 hour of your time, it would make a huge difference!
Sign up to volunteer here: Fun Fair 2025 Volunteer Sign up
A big shout-out to our amazing Fun Fair committee (made up of Stoney parents!) who have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to plan, shop, and organize this event. We couldn’t do it without them — or without you!
Thanks so much for your support!
