Happy Teacher's Day!
Dear Graham Bruce Families,
March 5th is World Teacher's Day!
Today, we honor our incredible teachers who inspire and nurture our students every day. Their dedication, creativity, and hard work make our school a place of joy and discovery. We are deeply grateful for their unwavering commitment to excellence and the positive impact they have on our community.
To our wonderful teachers, we want to express our deepest gratitude. Your impact extends far beyond the classroom, touching the lives of students and their families in profound ways. Thank you for your patience, creativity, and the countless hours you invest in making our school a place of joy and discovery.
Happy World Teacher's Day!
Canned Food Drive @Bruce!
Date: Monday, October 7th to Friday, October 11th
Thanksgiving is right around the corner! We have so much to be thankfulf or: family, friends, food, shelter, and so much more! Let's help others who may need a helping hand! We are asking our students to bring canned, boxed, or other non-perishable foods to class. Division 2 students will come by each morning to collect the donations. Our goal is to collect 400 cans! If each person brings 2 cans, we can reach this goal! Let's show that at Bruce, we care! Many thanks to Mr. Tam and the Division 3 for organizing and leading this meaningful project.
Parent Volunteers for Field Trips & School Activities
As we start this exciting school year, we are thrilled to offer enriching field trips and sport activities that extend learning beyond the classroom, providing invaluable opportunities for our children to explore new environments, engage with hands-on activities, and create lasting memories. To make these experiences impactful and safe, we need your support as enthusiastic parent volunteers to join their children’s classes on upcoming field trips, ensuring safety, supervision, and enhancing the learning experience. Please contact your classroom teachers for field trips and activities that require your support, and remember to submit a driver’s licence verification form with the office each school year if you plan to drive students. Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our school community.
