News Flash - Nov.19
  • If buses are cancelled on a TUESDAY then pizza is cancelled that day and rescheduled until the next day (as long as buses are running the next day).  So students need to bring a lunch!
  • Please arrange to pick your child up at school by 3:30pm (all “bus” students will be in the gym at the end of the day).


The Snowsuit Fund
Referrals:  If you are aware of a child aged 15 and younger that is is in need of warm winter clothing, please direct the family to the Snowsuit Fund website (www.snowsuitfund.com).  They may qualify for a snowsuit.


Double Lunch Days
We will be supporting The Ottawa Mission this year with two Double Lunch Days - Tues. Nov. 27 and Tues. April 30.  On these days students are asked to bring a second lunch to school to donate to the Ottawa Mission.  Some students add a personal note or message in the lunch. We are looking for 4 parent volunteers for each date to help us with this endeavor.  We rely on and appreciate our volunteers' help and generosity during our Double Lunch Days. They continue to be such a success because of the team work provided by our parents and families!
