3. Move-a-Thon – Friday, March 8th – Move-a-thon packages went home yesterday with your oldest/only child. Forms and envelopes are due back to school by Thursday, March 7th. For every $5 of donations, students will receive a draw ticket that they can enter to try and win some great prizes such as crafts, gym time, games with teachers, etc. Classes will all have a chance to go to the gym that day to show off their great moves.

Here are some more details:

  • Between now and Thursday, March 7th find sponsors who will make a donation for our school’s Move-A-Thon event
  • Do not go door-to-door to unknown people. Collect only from friends and family.
  • ONE DONATION SHEET PER FAMILY. Use the back of the form to track donations. Fill in the name of the person, address, city and cash or cheque amount.
  • Please make any cheques payable to Waterloo Education Foundation
  • Donations of $15.00 or more will receive a tax receipt
  • All donation sheets and envelopes are due back to school by Thursday, March 7th
  • Please return your envelope even if you decide not to participate in our school fundraiser.
  • Profits raised will go towards items like classroom and playground enhancements, field trips and more! ~

March 8th is also Beach Day at Williamsburg so plan for your student/s to wear bright summery colours to school that day!

4. Lost and Found – Please encourage your children to check the Lost and Found at school. It is full of coats, hoodies, hats, mitts etc. Any items that have not been claimed by the Friday before March Break will be donated. Thanks!

4. HERO GEM UPDATE – This is our last week to learn about Empathy at Williamsburg. Ask your child about words or actions that impact others in a positive way.

5. End of Day Reminder – We feel that this is important enough to send out again this week: All students have been reminded that they are to go straight home after school. They should not be playing on snow hills and/or equipment at the end of the day because we do not have supervision to ensure that students are safe when on the hills and equipment.

Parents…..if you would like to stay at the end of the day to let your children play, we ask that you and your children wait together and refrain from using the equipment or the hills until you hear the bell at 3:35. We really need those 15 minutes (3:20-3:35) to ensure that all students have been picked up and are safely on their way home. We thank you for your cooperation with this.
