Cookie Dough Fundraiser
We are now entering our final week of the campaign. Please help your child with this fundraiser by asking friends, relatives, and co-workers if they would like to order. Cookie dough is convenient, time saving, and yummy!
Please forward completed order forms, along with a cheque payable to Ventura Park P.S., to your child’s teacher no later than Friday, March 10th.
Thank you for your support!

On Thursday, February 23rd, the team played in the Area Finals at Charlton. They demonstrated amazing teamwork and sportsmanship. They won 2 of their games and came in 3rd place (out of 6 teams). Mme. Forde and Ms. McMurray are so proud of the effort that the girls put in this season.
Boys Basketball
On Wednesday, Feb. 22nd, the Intermediate Boys Basketball team participated in the area qualifying tournament which concluded their season. The boys competed ferociously and demonstrated exceptional sportsmanship. Even though the competition was very good, the boys maintained a positive attitude and approached defeat with humour. We might not have been the most talented team at the tournament, but we were definitely the most joyful and good spirited athletes there! Mr. Babin and Mme Forde are very proud of the perseverance they demonstrated.
Congratulations to both teams, and thanks to the parents for supporting our players by driving them to tournaments and cheering on the players. A very special thank you to our amazing coaches – Mme Forde, Ms. McMurray, and Mr. Babin. Go Vikings go!
