Wish List for 2017-2018 School Year
June 2017
Dear Parents/Guardians:
It is hard to believe that the school year has come to an end! It has been a year filled with excitement and joy and we are looking forward to working with all of you in the fall.
Although our school will continue to provide all of the essential student supplies next year, parents generally purchase a few extra school supplies for their children during the summer months. In order to provide consistency for all children, the following is a list of suggested supplies that parents may wish to purchase for their children before school begins next September.
Wishing you a safe and restful summer! See you in September! |

Ottawa’s Favourite Crossing Guard Contest
My name is Kelly Banks and I am the Program Manager for the Adult Crossing Guard program in the City of Ottawa. I am contacting you today to tell you about an exciting contest happening this Spring and the opportunity for your school to win a $300 Canadian Tire gift certificate. As I am sure you can appreciate, Adult Crossing Guards have a very important (and sometimes stressful) job. Students and parents depend on their Crossing Guard to help them cross the road safely all year long, in all kinds of weather and traffic. To nominate your Crossing Guard click on https://ottawasafetycouncil.ca/saythanks/
To that end, we would like to give students, parents, school faculty and the community in general the opportunity to recognize the Adult Crossing Guards efforts. The Ottawa’s Favourite Crossing Guard contest will run from March 27th through April 30th. The winner receives a $500 cash prize and is awarded the Marie Armstrong Crossing Guard award. |
