A partnership with Oliver’s labels
Every year, many items are lost by primary school pupils. When they’re labelled, it’s easy for the team to return them to their little owners!
That’s why we’ve set up a partnership with Oliver’s labels, an Ontario company tried and tested by many parents, and renowned for the quality of its labels.
Shop now and 20% of your purchase will go toward fundraising efforts (for educational projets). Feel free to share the referral link with your family and friends!
