I hope you all enjoyed the gift of an extra day spent in the company of those you care most about this weekend. It was certainly a mixed bag of tricks weather-wise. The taste of spring we got here on Saturday made me think there might be an end to the white stuff eventually!
By now, most of you are aware of the "surprise" I got at school on Thursday. I just wanted to extend my thanks to President Pam Montgomery and the TOSH Parent Council for nominating me for this award, and I applaud the fact that they pulled the surprise off with so much pizzazz! You got me...Well done! :-)
PARENT COUNCIL NEEDS YOUR HELP!
The Parent Council is hosting a pot luck lunch for TOSH staff at noon on Thursday, Feb. 21. They are also having a bake sale that same day to raise funds for the Parent Council Bursary that they award to a deserving Grade 12 student at the graduation in the spring. If you can contribute food items for the pot luck and/or the bake sale, you are asked to contact Pam Montgomery by FB message (Pam Schurman-Montgomery), by phone at 436-4812, or via e mail: jajomapa@mac.com ASAP so organizers will have some idea of what items to expect on Thursday. Thanks in advance for your support!
Our staff room was filled with treats and cards last week as various families paid tribute to the work our staff do each and every day on behalf of students. THANK YOU to all who reached out to us! We appreciate your gestures of support, even though I had to walk a few extra laps of the CUP track this weekend to make up for the indulgence! :-)
A HUGE thank you is extended to the Hon. Janice Sherry, Minister of Environment, Labour and Justice and Attorney General for PEI, who presented our winning provincial Envirothon team from TOSH with a cheque for $1500! The funds will go to support their travel to the international competition in Montana, USA this summer. Much appreciated!
