VCPS Scholastics Book Fair opens today.  Classes will be visiting the Book Fair throughout the week.  The Book Fair will remain open until Friday, May 5.

Tuesday, May 2, is Grad Photo Retake Day

Our Book Fair will remain open for families that would like to purchase any items from the Book Fair until 5:00.

Wednesday, May 3 is our Random Acts of Kindness Assembly.  We will be drawing names for the 20 bikes that were donated for each classroom by Stuart Husk, a local community member.  ‘Caught Ya’ tickets have been given out all month by staff for students who were “caught” doing something kind for others in the school or for helping to take care of the school.  Parents will be notified after the draws at the assembly if their child’s name was drawn.  Bikes will be available for pick up at our BBQ and Open House on Thursday, May 4.

Thursday, May 4. VCPS BBQ and Open House.  This event begins at 5:30-7:00. (If you have not already done so, please return the food forms sent home last week as soon as possible, so we know what each family have ordered for food).  More details to follow.  Our Book Fair will remain open for families that would like to purchase any items from the Book Fair.

Empowerment Day trip for our Grade 6/7/ 8’s to Guelph.

Pizza Day for K-5 for this week if pizza has already previously been ordered through Cash Online.

Friday, May 5.  Book Fair Closes

VCPS staff will be involved in various activities for Mental Health Week.  This year UGDSB is celebrating with the theme “STRIVE Together! – Mental Health and Education Week 2023!”

We hope that everyone has a wonderful week and we look forward to seeing all of our families (rain or shine) on Thursday night at our Open House and BBQ.
