Hello Parents,
Here are this week’s updates:
1. Victoria Day Holiday – A reminder that Monday, May 20th is the Victoria Day Holiday and schools will be closed that day. Have a great long weekend!
2. Jump to Pump – Jump to Pump will be taking place on tomorrow! This is our annual fundraiser for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Students are encouraged to bring in a toonie to donate to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. All students will skip (jump) during their gym period on Friday. For every toonie donated, students will receive a ballot for a chance to win one of the prizes in the front foyer display case.
3. Little Caesars Fundraiser – Students are asked to sell Little Caesars’ Pizza Kits for our Spring Fundraiser. Just a reminder that this fundraiser is “per family” not per student. Our school wide goal is to sell 300 kits! The fundraiser will run from May 13 – 27. Thank you for helping to support this fundraiser!
4. HERO GEM UPDATE – We continue to focus on Hope this month at Williamsburg. We encourage you to talk to your child about Hope. Consider some of the following conversation starters:
- Being positive is an important part of Hope. how can you make sure you are being positive?
- Being kind to others and helping them when they are upset can bring hope to a sad situation. What could you say to yourself or to someone else to give them hope?
