Dear families and caregivers:
I hope you had a quiet and replenishing weekend and enjoyed the cool weather with a warm drink or a warm blanket!
We had a quiet week last week, and our school is beginning to settle into routines, as well as working towards some exciting things!
We are so pleased to announce that beyond our participation in the city’s Phil Kline UnSilent Night (which our students are super excited about), we are also going to host a Winter Concert on December 19th. More information and details will be shared soon, but please pencil in that date on your calendars for now.
We are very happy that our students have these opportunities to engage in joyous activities that are creative, and that help build school and community spirit.
Have a wonderful week ahead,
Ms. Carolina Miranda

A reminder that as per our message shared on School Day, we are unable to accommodate parents and caregivers in our gym during our Remembrance Day assembly. Please rest assured we have a beautiful celebration prepared for our students that will honour all of those who have fought, and continue to fight, for freedom and peace.

Running Club Supervisors – Ongoing
Art Supply Donations Welcome – Ongoing!
Do you have extra art supplies at home that are gathering dust? We are excited to announce that our school is now accepting donations of gently used or new art supplies! If you have any paints, brushes, paper, markers, or other materials in excess, we’d love to put them to good use in our classrooms. Our wonderful School Council Co-Chairs have kindly offered to organize and distribute the supplies, ensuring they find their way into the hands of our students and teachers. Your contributions will help support creativity and art education throughout the school.
Donations can be dropped off at the main office, and we sincerely thank you for your generosity!
