Hello Arbour Vista families,
As March Break draws near, there’s an undeniable feeling of excitement and anticipation. We've been lucky to enjoy some sunshine and warmer days lately. As the break approaches, we look forward to basking in the pleasant weather, celebrating our students' achievements, and spending quality time with family and friends.
Faith Days During March
Acknowledging and celebrating days of faith is an important aspect of many religious traditions and cultures. Different faiths have their own holy days, festivals, and observances that hold significance for their followers. During the month of March, please see the days that will be acknowledged and celebrated by some members of our school community. Please note that there is diversity within faith communities and that no one list can represent all faith traditions or observances.
Date | Celebration | Faith/Religion |
February 28 | **Ramadan (begins) | Islam |
March 20 | Spring Equinox | Ostara |
March 19-20 | Naw Ruz | Bahá'í/Persian |
March 13-14 | Purim | Judaism |
March 14-16 | Hola Mohalla | Sikh |
March 14 | Holi | Hindu |
*Please note that we acknowledge Bangladeshi Heritage Month, Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, Irish Heritage Month, St. Patrick’s Day, Black Mental Health Week, International Women’s Day, Wear Purple for Epilepsy and other significant dates during the Month of March. These are not included on the chart above, as they are not days of faith/religious holidays.
Food Orders
A new round of pizza orders is now available on Cash Online. Please note that the School Council has not yet determined which food orders will be offered from March to June. Stay tuned for updates on Cash Online!
There was a typo in the title of the next round of orders. However, the information in the description is correct. To clarify, pizza orders will take place on Wednesdays and Fridays between March 19 and June 18. Parents were billed correctly for 14 weeks for Wednesday orders and 11 weeks for Friday orders.
Lost and Found
Please take a moment to check the Lost and Found before the March Break. Any unclaimed items will be collected and donated over the break. Teachers will also be taking their classes to look for any missing belongings.
