Cambridge Street Annual Fabric Flea Market

Cambridge Street Community Public School
Presents Annual Fabric Flea Market
Saturday, October 18 – 10:00 a.m.– 2:00 p.m.
At Glebe Community Centre
690 Lyon Street, Ottawa

Fabrics from around the corner to around the world will be on display this Saturday at the Cambridge Street Community Public School Flea Market. This marks the thirteenth year students, staff, and community partners have joined forces to fundraise for sports and cultural activities. The money raised ensures that students have the opportunity to exercise their minds and bodies according to PrincipalKim Nelson.

The potential for student learning moments is infinite. Students watch, listen, and learn as everyone comes together to make the Fabric Flea Market a success. Ms. Nelson says two of the markets greatest champions do not even have children attending the school. Gail Cariou and Kay Young have been lending their support for several years because they believe in supporting community schools and they understand that field trips, sporting activities, and cultural curiosity, enhance a student's learning potential.

Ms. Cariou, who founded the Fabric Flea Market 13 years ago says, "Who would have thought there was enough fabric in the world to make this event successful for so many years? At any rate, it's still fun, the crowds keep coming, and Cambridge School depends on us. Every year we ask ourselves, "How can we stop now?"
This year the Fabric Flea Market will be held on Saturday, October 18, 2008, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Glebe Community Centre located at 690 Lyon Street. There is a$2.00 admission charge.

If you like to sew, there will be fabrics, yarns, patterns and notions for sale. All donations are gratefully accepted at Cambridge Street Community Public School, which is located at 250 Cambridge Street North. Principal Nelson says each year she is awed by both the greater school community and the Ottawa region’s generosity.
