News to Share:
Picture Day is coming! October 21st, individual photos will be taken. All students and staff will have their photos taken. No money or orders will be collected until AFTER PICTURE DAY. Proofs will be then sent home to families and orders can be made online. All students, whether they’re purchasing photos or not, will receive a class composite photo at no charge. This composite will replace class photos. Click here to see an example of a class composite. Each child will be “featured” on their personal class composite.
The school will be holding an October drive in support of www.truenorthaid.ca, an organization that supports Northern Canadians with practical humanitarian support. We will be collecting menstrual products for northern communities in Ontario, Quebec and Nunavut. If you would like to donate to our drive, we will be collecting menstrual pads, tampons, cloth pads, hot water bottles, and heating pads during the month of October. These items can be dropped off outside the main office.
