Merry Christmas Team Hummingbird!

Dear Team Hummingbird Families

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your generosity and thoughtfulness during the Christmas season.

Georges Vanier Catholic school was able to make a difference in so many ways this Christmas season all because of wonderful and caring families like you.

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our birthday party for Baby Jesus.  It was wonderful to celebrate Christmas with you and your child(ren).  We would also like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who brought a gift for Baby Jesus to our celebration.  All items were donated to St. Mary's home.  Merci!

And finally, thank you to all our Team Humminbird families for all the lovely cards, kind words and gifts sent in over the last week before the holiday.  It truly is a pleasure to work, play and laugh with your children everyday!

We wish you all a very Blessed and Peaceful Christmas and look forward to seeing you in the new year!

Merry Christmas!
Mme Brooking, Mrs. S, Mrs. B, and Ms. Quinn

White Elephant Sale

Tomorrow is our school's annual White Elephant Sale. Kindergarten students will have an opportunity to visit the sale and purchase treasures with the help of a Grade 6 personal shopper. 

If you wish for your kindergartener to be able to do a little Christmas shopping please send them with their shopping money in a sandwich sized ziploc style bag with their name and class (i.e., Hummingbirds) clearly printed on the bag. (Quarters, loonies and toonies are appreciated  **Please do not send $10 and $20 bills)

For parents who are new to our White Elephant Sale there are always items at all price points.  They start at 0.25 and sometimes range up to about $5.00.  Most kindergarten age students do very well at the sale with $5.00 in change but even as little as 0.25  or 0.50 lets them come home with a treasure.

It is a good idea to send a reusable shopping bag labelled with your child's name and class to help your shopper carry home his/her treasures.

If you would like your son or daughter to shop for specific family members ( ie: mom, dad, baby sister) please send a "I want to buy for" list in the bag with your child's money in order to help the teacher and grade 6 shopping helpers.   Please make sure the shopping list and ziploc bag with their money is inside their note tote (so that we can see it in the morning).
