The money generated through this fundraiser will go towards items like school yard enhancements, planners, field trips, technology and more! Your participation in this sale, whether large or small, is greatly appreciated!

4. Groove! – Groove is coming to Williamsburg on May 2nd and 3rd.  Classes will go to the gym with Michelle Hillier to participate in this fun event as a celebration from our awesome Move-a-thon fundraising efforts!  As a certified teacher, dance education specialist and university lecturer, Michelle Hillier, founder of Experience Groove, understands teacher and curriculum requirements like no one else. The Groove Experience offers a unique way to meet these needs. With wellness and discovery at its core, bringing the Groove to school-aged children is truly a magical thing. Benefits include enhancing physical literacy, self-responsibility, mindfulness, peace, joy, and respect.

5. Keep Us Up to Date!

  • Medical Information and Forms – A quick reminder that if there are any health changes for your child to please keep us up to date at school.  This includes puffers, epipens or any other medications or health issues.
  • Address/Moving Changes – Let us know as soon as possible if you will be moving this spring or summer. We also ask that you spread the word to any new families who are moving or have moved into our school community and ask them to contact the school as soon as possible. Accurate enrolment numbers in the spring help establish a smooth fall start-up and help to prevent a reorganization.

Have a great week!
