Information
Our Terry Fox Run is this week. As I have lost two former colleagues and friends to cancer in the past 3 months, it is particularly poignant for me this year. In place of doing coin drives this year, we have set up a donation page for family or community members who want to support our Terry Fox Run by donating to the Terry Fox Foundation.- Orange Shirt Day is Sunday September 30. We will meet as a school this Friday to remember and honour survivors and victims of Canada’s Residential School System. If you are interested in purchasing orange shirts from the Lower Fraser Valley Aboriginal Society, you can do so here. If you want more information on Orange Shirt Day this website and the video below provide some context as to what Orange Shirt Day is, and why we recognize it.
- I know a couple of our families were looking for after school care. Kids in the Grove Daycare have have full time spaces available in their Out of School Care Program! They also have limited spaces available in the Preschool Program! To register please email them at grovekids@gmail.com or drop by at their classroom at the school. Visit their website for more information www.kidsinthegrove.com and their Facebook page too!
