Dear Parents/Guardians,

The A Kid Helping Kids SickKids Fundraiser at VPPS ended this past Friday. All of the donations have been counted, and the Ventura Park community was able to reach and surpass the A Kid Helping Kids goal of $6,000.00. We were able to raise $7,813.50 for SickKids Foundation. I am so thankful for all of the generous donations and support over the past 4 weeks. Since Day 1 in 2014, A Kid Helping Kids has accumulated over $17,000! Your support is truly appreciated.

All prizes have been given to the raffle winners yesterday to be sent home.

An email has been sent to all donors who made a donation of $20.00 or greater regarding tax receipts. Please send back a reply by December 6th, with the following information so that your tax receipt can be issued ASAP.

– full name

– mailing address

– email address

– phone number

– total amount donated

– name of your child/children

The total amount donated includes Haunted House and raffle donations, however, not popcorn sales.

Thank you so much for your incredible support in creating a healthier tomorrow at SickKids.

Regards,

Lexx Lang

One Warm Coat Parent Letter-Update (1)

York Region District School Board is committed to creating safe, equitable and inclusive learning and working environments. As part of this commitment, the Board established a Human Rights Commissioner’s Office (HRCO).

The HRCO was created in response to a growing awareness that a space was needed within the school board environment to effectively address issues of discrimination and harassment specific to the Human Rights Code.

The HRCO is an arms-length office for Human Rights Code compliance under the Board’s Human Rights Policy.

The HRCO website provides the YRDSB community access to important information related to human rights, a confidential complaint reporting process and contact information for the office.

The website can be found at www.yrdsb.ca/hrco.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Tomorrow marks the last day of the A Kid Helping Kids SickKids Foundation Fundraiser at Ventura Park, led by grade 8 student here at Ventura Park, Lexx Lang.

We will be selling our remaining Kernels Popcorn bags for $2.00 tomorrow morning for all grades as a first come, first served process.

Tomorrow is also the last chance to bring in any donations to enter the raffle. Every $5.00 donated is 1 raffle entry. SickKids Foundation accepts both cash and cheque donations. All cheques must be made payable to SickKids Foundation, not Ventura Park.

Tax receipts will be issued upon request for all donations of $20.00 or greater. Please send a note with your full name, email, phone number, and address to school with your donation.

Thank you so much for your continued support to create a healthier tomorrow at SickKids.

If you have any questions, please direct them to Lexx at 647-262-7622 or lexxg555@gmail.com.

Sincerely,

Arin Otis
