HOLIDAY BAZAAR

Our Holiday Bazaar is coming up in two weeks, but we are in great need of items to sell. Currently, we do not have enough donations for this to be a success for students.  We will be accepting donations of items all throughout this week.  This is a great opportunity to rid your house of things taking up extra space.

Each class will have on opportunity to shop for inexpensive items for their family, with all items priced at $1.   If we have any items that are unsold at the end of the event, they will be donated to charitable organizations. 

We are looking for gently used:

  • Household Décor, Kitchen Gadgets, Jewellery, Books ,Videos, Toys, Holiday Décor, Gift bags, Tissue Paper, Wrapping Supplies, etc…

Please also sign up to volunteer your time during the event. We will be looking for help with setup, selling/wrapping during the event, and then tear down after the event. You can sign up at:

HOLIDAY CONCERTS 

Students in grades P-2 will be demonstrating their learning in music at our annual Holiday Concert on Tuesday, December 10th and Wednesday, December 11th. Both concerts will begin at 12:45pm and last about 45 minutes.  There are no tickets for these events, please feel free to invite the whole family!  We do ask that you remain for the whole event as all students would like to showcase their learning to a full audience.
