NLTA Janeway Day in the Schools

Information Sheet

 

Every year, NLTA Janeway Day in the Schools provides an opportunity for students and teachers to help other children. In fact, since 1986, students and teachers in Newfoundland and Labrador have donated more than $1,299,900 to The Janeway. That’s something to be proud of!

Here’s how to participate in NLTA Janeway Day:

On February 14th …
Ask students and teachers to forego and collect the equivalent of recess monies for this one day. (That’s their donation to The Janeway.) 

Please note…
To comply with NLSchools financial policy regarding school-generated funds, cash and cheque payments must be made at the school’s main office. However, teachers may collect funds in the classroom if they choose. If collected in the classroom, a Cash Collection Form or a simple note should include:

  • Teacher’s Name
  • Purpose of Funds
  • Total Amount Collected
    (Example: “Ms. Smith, Grade 3, $15 for Janeway Day.”)

All funds must be submitted to the main office by the end of the school day. The School Secretary must count the funds:

  • In the presence of the person submitting them
  • At the time of submission

A receipt must be issued for all cash and cheque payments at the time they are received. If funds cannot be counted immediately, they must be stored securely until a receipt is prepared.

For amounts $75 or more, counting must be done in the presence of two individuals.

After February 14th …
Either have your principal deposit the donation and write a cheque to your NLTA Branch. The Branch President will then send a cheque to the NLTA made out to NLTA Janeway Day in the Schools Fund, c/o 3 Kenmount Road, St. John’s, NL, A1B 1W1.

Or send your donation directly to The Janeway through their donation page at www.janewayfoundation.nf.ca/ways-to-give/online-donations/telethon-donation/. NOTE: Please add in the “Comments” section that monies to go towards NLTA Janeway Day in the Schools.
