Beliefs (words for hands):
https://www.we.org/we-movement/our-beliefs/Beginning next Monday, we are hoping to decorate a tree outside the main office with sock donations for the homeless. Pick up for the socks will be Friday, December 22 so let's see how many pairs of new socks we can donate to a worthy cause! http://www.socks4soulscanada.com/donate.html
We're one week into our holiday hampers and are almost there! We need your generous support in donating gift items and gift cards to families in need. Friday, December 15th is our last today to donate!

Our sad and lonely Lost and Found bin is overflowing. This Wednesday we will be packing everything and donating all of it to our very successful clothing drive. Please come in and have a look if you are missing clothing items before Wednesday!
Our clothing collection will continue throughout the school year. Donations always welcome! The drop off is just inside the main doors, please let the office know if you are dropping something off.
Dear Parents and Guardians;
The purpose of this survey is to better understand your current before- and/or after-school child care arrangements as well as your needs for September 2018.
The information collected through this survey will help the Toronto District School Board identify:
- where new programs are needed or may need to be expanded to meet community needs and;
- what other child care options families are currently using.
Please note, completing this survey does not guarantee that a Before- and/or After-School Program will run at your child’s school.
If your school does not currently have a Before- and/or After-School Program, you will be informed prior to May 2018 whether or not your school has enough interest to start a new program. At that time the school will provide you with additional information.
If your school currently has a Before- and/or After-School Program we request that you please still complete this survey and return it to the school. If you require care for your child, please contact the onsite Child Care Program directly for further information about the program, wait lists and how to register.
For the survey, please see the Owen Online email from Stephen Miles or contact our office for a copy.

Interested in getting out and playing some ball with other moms? Drop by with your sneakers and sweats on Wednesday December 13th from 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm in the gym. If you have any questions contact paula.kuzic@tdsb.on.ca
Please send a note or email office staff if your child will be signing out for an appointment as we are trying to minimize interruptions during instructional time.
Any student who needs to be dismissed early must be picked up before 2:45 pm.
To ensure the safety of all students, students will not be dismissed between 2:45 pm - 3:15 pm as staff need to account for students taking the bus and going to daycare. This time is extremely important as students will miss instructional time and time to organize their agendas.
Thanks for your cooperation.
