In addition, there will be a presentation highlighting traditional Greek music and dance. Please come and support the students!
    1. As usual, students are encouraged to wear their Pack colours because it's a Spirit Friday.
    2. Pizza lunch is ALSO this Friday! 
    3. Earth Hour is being recognized by TDSB schools this Friday from 2-3 pm. The official time and date are Saturday March 30 from 8:30-9:30 pm. Students will be talking about the reason for this event at school. We will be turning off lights and avoiding using technology which is non-essential. Please participate on Saturday by turning off lights and other electronic devices between 8:30-9:30. It is a wonderful opportunity to spend quality time as a family if you can by talking about ways that you can make a difference, playing games, or telling stories. Information and ideas for family activities can be found here as well as on the TDSB information page.

    This Thursday's special Spirit Day!

    This coming THURSDAY is "bring your favourite stuffy to school day"! Students who bring in a stuffy will earn Pack Points.

    Please encourage your child to wear their pack colour and to bring in their favourite stuffed toy. A word to the wise - don't send in enormous stuffies or there won't be room for the students in their classrooms! A good guide would be, if it won't fit inside a backpack, leave it at home!

    What sinks, what floats, and why?

    Investigating absorption using water droppers and a variety of solids.
