Hello Parents,

1. Remembrance Day – Students at Williamsburg will receive a poppy sticker to wear on November 9th and we will take time to honour and remember our veterans. Donations to the Poppy Fund are welcome to be sent into school with your child. Thank you for wearing a Poppy and supporting Canada’s Veterans.

2. Scholastic Book Fair – November 13 to 15 – Join us in the Library at Williamsburg for our Book Fair:

  • November 13 and 14 from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm
  • November 15 from 8:30 am to 7:00 pm

3. Parent Teacher Interviews – You should have received a letter from your child’s teacher offering up the opportunity to arrange for a parent teacher interview. This is a great opportunity for you to follow-up on your child’s progress report. Be sure to send the form back to ensure a time is reserved for you.

4. School Council Updates

– Wintergreen Fundraiser

All Wintergreen and Gift Card orders for our School Council Fundraiser are due by Friday, November 16th. The money generated through this fundraiser will go towards items like technology, school yard enhancements, planners, field trips and more! Your participation in this sale, whether large or small, is greatly appreciated!

– Used Winter Clothing/Gear Drive

If you have good condition winter gear (hats, mitts, boots, snow pants, coats) that your child has out grown please bring them in to the school on December 4th and 5th during the Wintergreen Fundraiser Pick-up for our Winter Clothing Drive. If you are not picking up a wingergreen order, winter gear can be dropped off at the office on December 4th and 5th. They will then be taken to a local school that will put them to good use keeping kids and families warm this winter.

5. HERO GEM Update – Our HERO GEM focus continues to be Gratitude for the month of November. Perhaps you can reflect as a family about one thing each day that you are grateful for.
