We raise it, the children get it.

Children out in the yard at break time.

Breaks

Break time needs equipment.

Balls, skipping ropes, hoops and bats. When there's something to do in the yard, break time flies by and nobody is left standing alone by the wall.

  • Sports equipment
  • Every break
The whole school’s sports day.

Sports

The Dream Sports Day.

We help cover the cost of the school's Dream Sports Day. One day a year when the whole school moves together, and one the children remember long after.

  • Whole school
  • Once a year
A spring celebration in the schoolyard: a teacher hands a child a flower. In front, a rolled certificate tied with ribbon, lily of the valley and lilac.

In spring

Encouragement grants.

In spring we award the encouragement grants.
The recognition doesn't always go to the best grade, but to the one who tried.

Association

About the association.

Rastas ry, the parents' association of Rastaala School in Espoo, was founded on 29 September 1993. With the funds it raises, the association buys sports equipment for break time and instruments for the music room, and contributes to the cost of the Dream Sports Day. The encouragement grants awarded in spring and the pupils' flowers are also paid for from the association's funds.

More important than anything we buy is our aim to strengthen the sense of community and safety among the school's pupils, staff and parents. Organising shared events shows our children how to do things together and creates good memories.
