Thank you for your amazing support!
As a school, we sold over 211 boxes, an incredible achievement! Once lucky family will receive a $50 certificate to spend at our upcoming Scholastic Book Fair and all families who sold three boxes of more will be entered into a draw for one of four gift cards!
All proceeds from this fundraiser will go toward our school’s fundraising plan, which supports enhancements to classroom technology, music, art, athletics, and STEM programs, as well as student trips and other experiences.
We expect to be able to send the boxes home or arrange for pick up by the week of November 10th. Stay tuned for more information about this.
Thank you once again for helping make these opportunities possible for our students!
School Photo retake Day:
Photo retakes will take place on Wednesday, November 13 for any students who were absent on the original photo day. Please ensure your child is prepared and dressed for their photo that day.
School Council:
Lunch Clubs Are Coming!
Our School Council volunteers will be starting a variety of lunch clubs in the coming weeks! Several activities are planned to begin this week, with more details to come soon. Some of the clubs being considered include Reading Club, Creative Club, Chess Club, Running Club, Yoga Club, and Soccer Club, with more to follow!
Students are encouraged to listen to morning announcements for information about activities that interest them and to sign up when opportunities are shared.
Volunteering at Our School
We truly value the time and support our volunteers bring to our school community! A reminder that all volunteers are required to have a current Vulnerable Sector Screening (VSS) completed through York Region Police services before volunteering in the school or on school trips. This requirement helps ensure a safe and caring environment for all students. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact the school office for information on how to obtain or update your screening.
