VoteSTUDENT GOVERNMENT COUNCIL ELECTION RESULTS! 
Congratulations to Noah Richardson (President), Rebecca Drummond (Vice-President), and Maria Dalton (Communications Officer) whose For-Oaks party will form the first ever TOSH Student Government Council Executive. Thank you to all the candidates who participated and gave their best to their campaigns. The new government members will take their oath on stage in the cafeteria at noon on Monday.



Clothing StoreDRESS CODE:
Please help us hold our students accountable to the school dress code by reviewing it with your child and making sure that they go out the door in the morning dressed appropriately for school. Here is the policy as it appears in our Student Handbook:


TOSH DRESS CODE -Three Oaks Mission Statement encourages students to show respect for
themselves, their peers, and their teachers. In light of this, and in the pursuit of a positive learning
environment, the following are NOT considered appropriate school attire:
* clothing, including hats, jewellery, or accessories associated with drug, alcohol, tobacco, sex,
obscenity, discrimination or violence.
* short shorts or short skirts, revealing necklines, exposed midriffs, or shoulderless shirts.
* outer clothing that does not completely cover underclothes.
Students may be asked to change or cover up if their dress is considered inappropriate or makes
someone uncomfortable.

Please note:  Students have been reminded numerous times this year that the length of shorts and skirts should not be shorter than the end of the fingertips when arms are extended by one's side. That seems to be one of our major infractions as we head into the warmer weather. Thanks in advance for your help with this and for your support if we have to ask your child to head home to change.


Bake Sale at TOAD Day- June 7  
The TOSH Parent Council will be running a bake sale during Three Oaks Activity Day (TOAD) beginning at 11:45 a.m. on June 7. If you would like to donate items for sale that day, just send them to school with your son or daughter to bring to the Main Office. The proceeds from this sale will go toward a graduation bursary for a deserving Grade 12 student on graduation night.

GRADE 12 PARENTS!
If your son or daughter has received a post-secondary scholarship for next year, and you would like that fact recognized on stage during the 2012 graduation, please make sure that your child brings in a copy of the scholarship information to give to Mr. Donovan in Student Services. If we do not have this, we can not celebrate your child's accomplishment the way we would like to on graduation night!
