Hello awesome Grade 8 parents!

 

We have worked hard on planning these fun grad trips for our students; however, sometimes the weather gets in the way! Unfortunately, with 80% chance of thundershowers on their radar for tomorrow, the Grand River trip has been canceled. 

 

We refuse to let the weather ruin our fun! Tomorrow, we will have a fun day consisting of Putting Edge, Laser Quest, and a delicious lunch! As with the previous plans, lunch will be provided to the students at no additional cost. 

 

Unlike with the original plans, we will be returning to school in time for dismissal, so students will be able to either walk home or take the bus as usual. No additional forms or payment will need to be collected. 

 

Please do not hesitate to contact your child’s homeroom teacher with any additional questions.

Yesterday, VPPS students in Grades 4 – 8 participated in our Annual School Track and Field event, hosted at Westmount CI.  Students participated with enthusiasm and sportsmanship, despite the unseasonably cool conditions.  Thank you to our dedicated staff, and parents for braving the elements too!

Congratulations to all of the grade 4, 5 and 6 mathematicians who wrote the Mathematica Junior Math Contest! The results are in and everyone did their very best. We are proud of you!
