REGISTRATION FOR GRANDPALS & SPECIAL FRIENDS DAY
We are excited to host Grandpals and Special Friends Day at our Junior School Campus on Wednesday, May 15 JK-Gr. 2 and Thursday, May 16 Gr. 3-5. This annual celebration acknowledges the important and unique role that extended family and friends play in the lives of our youngest learners by inviting grandparents and other friends or family members to join us for some learning and fun.
Due to capacity restrictions, we can accommodate two guests per student.
All event communication will only be sent to York School parents and caretakers, so please decide who from your family will be attending and then RSVP on their behalf.
If you have more than one child attending York’s Junior School you will need to register for each applicable session.
We are hopeful that each student has at least one Grandpal or Special Friend to join them at their session so that nobody feels left out.

STUDENT LIFE & BELONGING
JUNIOR SCHOOL SPRING BOOK DRIVE
Our annual JS Spring Book Drive and house challenge launches on Monday, April 29 and runs to Friday, May 10. As you do some Spring cleaning, we are asking students to look through their home libraries for books that they no longer read and are willing to donate. Please give the gift of reading to someone else!
All of the donated books will go to The Children’s Book Bank, a non-profit organisation that provides free books and literacy support to children in high-needs neighbourhoods in Toronto.
Gently used children’s books are donated and distributed, free of charge, to provide equal access to books for all children, thereby improving literacy rates and socioeconomic outcomes.
PARENT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED - INFLATABLE OBSTACLE COURSE
We're bringing back our epic recess day with an inflatable obstacle course in the JS playground ALL DAY on Wednesday, May 22!
Volunteers are needed to manage traffic and add to the fun!
Please submit your availability by the end of day Wednesday, May 8 on this volunteer sign up and look for an email on Friday, May 10 - as it is possible that interested volunteers will outnumber available spaces.
