Kindergarten Sale

Tomorrow morning, students in all three Kindergarten classes will have the opportunity to purchase a bracelet or other special craft from our Grade 2 students. All items will be available for 50 cents, so please send any money in your child's Note Tote tomorrow morning.

Also, we would like to send home our blankets and extra clothes as we prepare for the end of the school year. Please send your Hummingbird student to school tomorrow with a plastic or reusable grocery bag so that they can carry everything home.

Thank you!

Weather Reminder

With the heat advisory for tomorrow's (June 12) forecast, we want to remind students to dress appropriately for the weather (shorts, t-shirts) and to bring a spill proof water bottle to school to drink throughout the day. We do have a water fountain and sink in our classroom for students to use if they need to refill their bottles.

A reminder that educators are not permitted to apply sunscreen to students. If you wish, you may apply sunscreen in the morning before sending your child to school.

Dance-a-thon!

It's that time of year again - time to break out the leg warmers and your favourite dancing shoes! It's the Georges Vanier Annual Dance-a-thon!

Each year, students in the school's Social Justice Club plan our dance-a-thon as a fundraiser to support global programs through Free the Children. Students in the club spend weeks researching what countries to support through this campaign, and this year have decided to highlight the need for food programs in developing countries, specifically in India.

Today, students gathered for an assembly to learn more about India and why they need our help, and also to find out more information about the Dance-a-thon. Your child will also bring home a pledge sheet later this week. We are asking families to donate to our dance, with money raised going towards Free the Children food programs in India.

Our Dance-a-thon will be held on Thursday, June 15. Students will spend one block dancing in the gym, complete with a DJ and dance instructor to lead us in some great dance moves. We hope that you will consider supporting this worthwhile cause!
