Message from the Headmaster: As we approach November, we would like to remind everyone to stay alert and drive safely near the school. Many students and adults are in the area during both pick-up and drop-off times. Please be respectful at all times. I understand everyone is in a hurry, but let’s take care of one another. Remember, we are all part of the same community.

Holiday Bazaar at SHS December 5: With the holiday season just around the corner, the PVA is excited to announce it is organizing its first Holiday Bazaar on Thursday December 5! Keeping sustainability in mind, after the November break the PVA will start collecting gently used items including toys, games, puzzles, holiday decorations and more, for resale to students and family members in a holiday market format. All the money raised will benefit Resilience Montreal, a non-profit day shelter. It's a great opportunity for parents to get involved! Sign up if you can contribute baked goods and/or volunteer for a shift. Items can be dropped off at the school's front desk starting Monday November 11th. We will have more information coming in the next few weeks. Please email amandajelowicki@hotmail.com with any questions.
