WARM CLOTHING DRIVE
Winter is here! We are collecting gently used winter clothing (mittens, hats, gloves, boots, jackets, snow pants) from January 18-25. We will put bins in front of the office to collect the clothing. Clothing will be donated to one of our sister schools to help TDSB students in need.
JUNIOR SWIM TEAM
We are happy to announce, after a brief delay, our pool is up and ready to go! A sign-up was scheduled this week in the gym.
Our team is open for all students in Grades 4, 5 and 6 to try out, starting the week of January 18th. We will begin timing students, during their scheduled swim classes, starting with Freestyle. Timing will take approximately two weeks.
Please note, the pool will be open Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays at lunch for junior students who wish to prepare for their upcoming tryout. Students will be timed in all four strokes including Butterfly. A final team list will be posted at the end of January.
Best of Luck & Go Panthers!
