Dear Families
The month of May is well under way!
Thank you Matthew for organizing our Bottle Drive and to all families who contributed! We raised almost $600.00! This fundraiser in the past has been used to pay for our Gym Speakers, Outdoor Sports equipment for recess and activity days and so much more! School Council will make sure the money is spent with our students in mind!
Thank you to Matthew also for the donation of 50 soccer balls. If you have ever seen poor Harold the Soccer Ball, often deflated and missing all his soccer patches, you would know that our need for all kinds of sports equipment is ongoing. Our students still used Harold to his very end, filling him with air each recess and kicking him relentlessly. We will miss him.
"How To Homeschool" Session with Lindsay and Carley - Who are these two incredible educators who put on all of these workshops and Coffee and Conversations? They are Homeschoolers, Educators, Teachers, and Outstanding Homeschool Facilitators. If you have ever been curious how other families homeschool and ways that you might strengthen your homeschooling, please come to this session! It promises to be fun, exciting and entertaining! Wednesday, May 15 from 10-11:30 in the Family Flex Room at Windsor Park School.
Sharing Back | School Planning
Thank you to everyone who participated in our school planning engagement. Due to low participation in our online survey and in the interest of protecting the anonymity of those who responded, we won’t be sharing the results on our school website.
The survey responses we received have been reviewed and will be considered in making decisions about school planning.
