- We are excited to offer Alma PS Gators Spirit Wear for sale. When ordering, please complete the portion on School Cash Online at https://ugdsb.schoolcashonline.com/ AND also complete the paper order form. Please double check your order for sizing, etc. as returns and substitutions are not possible. Orders will be accepted until May 27. If you have already submitted your order using School Cash Online, please ensure that you have sent in your paper copy.
- Arthur is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year. We have been invited to participate in a colouring contest in its honour. We are going to visit classrooms tomorrow and offer students one or both of the options which show what a car dealership and a candy store might look like in 150 years in the future. If you would like your child to participate, please put your child’s name and a contact phone number on the back of the picture and have them return it to school. Entries will be collected until Monday, June 13. All entries will be displayed at the Arthur Curling Club during the weekend of July 1-3, 2022.
As a final reminder, as children sometimes bring items to school to show their friends, please remind your child that trades are not something that we do at school. This ensures that students come home with everything that they brought to school that day and also helps to prevent unnecessary disagreements. Thanks for your help in reminding your child of this expectation if applicable.
Thanks as always for your continued support. If there’s anything the school can do to help, please let us know. We’re here to help!
Take care,
Jason Boyce
Principal Alma PS
