You are welcome to call the school office if you have any questions – 519-742-1848.

3. Wintergreen Pick-up Dates – Orders will be ready for pick-up as follows: (Enter through doors by the gym)

  • December 4th – 3:00 pm- 6:00 pm
  • December 5th – 8:30 am – 9:30 am & 2:30 pm – 3:40 pm

4. Winter Gear Drive: If you have winter gear in good condition (hats, mitts, boots, snow pants, coats) that your child has outgrown please bring them in during the school Wintergreen Fundraiser Pick-up on December 4 and 5. If you are not picking up a wintergreen order, winter gear can be dropped off at the office on those dates. 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 – We continue to reinforce November’s HERO GEM – Gratitude. Our brains are geared to notice the negative or potential dangers in our environment. It can be helpful to intentionally notice and be grateful for the positive elements in our day to shift the balance towards optimism. We encourage you to talk with your children at the dinner table or at bedtime about the “best thing that happened to them that day”! This will help to reinforce those positive elements and build gratitude.

6. Winter Weather – Please be sure your children are dressed appropriately for the cold weather (winter boots, jacket, snow pants, hat and mitts) and that you leave a little early each morning to ensure that the snow and cold weather does NOT result in late arrivals.

Have a great week!
