GREETINGS FROM YOUR ADMIN TEAM:

It is hard to believe that we have
already been back at school for one
month.
Many exciting events
happened in September and we look
forward to an eventful October. Next
weekend brings the Thanksgiving long weekend.
As many of us gather with family and friends on
Thankgiving, we have time to reflect and be
thankful for the many gifts in our lives.
We are thankful for the many gifts we have here at
St. Volodymyr School. Our students, staff and
community make our St. Volodymyr Family the
wonderful school that it is. We must also continue
to be thankful for the gift and opportunity of
Catholic Education.
Enjoy the upcoming
Thanksgiving weekend and God Bless!

Please join us in celebration with our
Thanksgiving liturgy led by Grade 4 GH and
Kindergarten (T/TH class) on Thursday,
October 8th @ 1:30.

STUDENT ATTENDANCE/ABSENCE:
Please notify the office (659-7470) if your child is away
from school. Please leave their name, their grade, their

Nut Alert – We have a number of students at our
school that are highly allergic to peanuts and nut
products including Peanut Butter and Nutella.
Anaphylaxis is a medical condition that causes a
severe reaction to specific foods and can result in
death within minutes. Because of the seriousness of
this danger, we ask that you are careful to avoid
sending food to school that contain nuts.
A reminder that if you have a child that needs
medical treatment that is life threatening, please
contact the School Office. Thanks for your
understanding and cooperation.
Milk Sold At School
We will again be offering white and chocolate milk for
sale to students at the beginning of each lunch hour.
Milk is sold for 80¢ each or milk cards are available
from the office for $8.00 (10 milk).
