3. Pumpkin Patrol
The WRDSB Pumpkin Patrol will be back on our streets.  Once again this year, the Pumpkin Patrol will be patrolling your school and community on the evenings of Saturday, October 29th, Sunday, October 20th and Monday, October 31st.

During these 3 nights, the Pumpkin Patrol will randomly visit the WRDSB facilities as well as be a watchful eye for any problems that may occur while the children are out “trick-or-treating.”

Staff have experienced a reduction in vandalism at Board facilities as a result of this program.  The program acts as a deterrent in decreasing the amount of activities, damage to the schools and helps ensure safety to our children who may be out on these fun filled evenings.

 

4. October 31 – Spirit Day
On October 31st, Williamsburg staff and students can wear a book character costume or can come dressed in black and orange to show their Williamsburg school spirit.  We discourage the wearing of masks for safety reasons, and the carrying of plastic weapons that may go along with a costume.  We don’t allow weapons, real or fake, to brought to school on any day.

 

5. Random Act of Kindness Day
November 4th is Random Act of Kindness Day.  Students and their families are encouraged to find ways to be kind to others.

 

6. Cinderella
Staff and students are looking forward to seeing the live performances of Cinderella during November and December.  Please reply to the field trip form and payment information on School-Day as soon as possible.  The theatre needs to know exact numbers in advance so we need to know early whether or not your child will be taking part in the trip.  Thanks in advance for letting us know.
