Just a reminder that we are a Nut Free School. We have students that are severally allergic to a variety of nuts (peanuts, tree nuts, almonds, pistachios, hazelnuts etc.)!

Please keep this in mind when making lunches for your child(ren) and sending in snacks/treats for celebrations.

We also have some students that are allergic to dairy and eggs. Please let the teacher(s) know the ingredients in any homemade items being sent in for the intention of sharing with the class.

Thank you for helping keep our students with allergies safe!

Please read carefully as this newsletter explains very important procedures related to cancellation and delays of buses due to weather issues, such as freezing rain or heavy, blowing snow events.

A paper copy will also be coming home with your child.

The Power of Used Shoes from your closet to the feet of those who need them most!

So far our school has collected 70 pairs of shoes, lets see if we can reach 100!

Do you have old shoes that no longer fit or you don’t wear? You can drop them off at our school or the local BioPed clinic who collects used shoes to help change the lives of those less fortunate.

Together with Soles4Souls, BioPed puts your generously donated shoes on the feet of those who need them most, both locally and abroad.  

With your continued support of School Council fundraising initiatives, we have been able to support our children in so many ways.  We are happy to share that in the current school year, Council has:

• Purchased a new mixer for the gym, dramatically improving the audio quality of weekly assemblies, and special events
• Ordered a set of Bee Bot robots for the school, which will enhance students coding capabilities as well as work on directional language within the classroom. Coding allows students to expand their growth mindset and increase their problem solving skills
• Purchased Marble runs for classes to share to promote cooperative play, structure building and design
• Subsidized the cost of the school's upcoming trip to the Beanstock performance in May, significantly reducing the cost for families to participate
• Allotted funding for annual playground maintenance

All of this would not be possible without our families' ongoing support.  We welcome you to join us at our next meeting, Wednesday, April 24th. 

Thank you!
