Fundraising Events
Please check our calendar for more information. A call for volunteers and announcements about these events usually goes out a few weeks before the event. Please consider supporting the school by volunteering to help with set-up, take-down, and running the VGS booth, and by spreading the word about the following events.
While we are not sure whether any of the contacts made at these events are actually resulting in bringing in new students, it is a pleasure talking to the community and seeing the interest in the German language, Culture, and Food! Thank you!
Events we have participated in over the last years are the Buccaneer Days in Esquimalt, Cordova Bay Day, and (in conjunction with the Edelweiss Club) the Saanich Fall Fair. Future ones we are thinking about are the Gorge Festival and the Oak Bay Tea Party.
