GREETINGS FROM YOUR ADMIN TEAM:
On behalf of the staff of St. Volodymyr School, we
would like to welcome you back to another amazing
school year. We continue to be blessed with a great staff
and amazing families and fantastic students that attend
St. Volodymyr School. We look forward to providing
quality Catholic education to your children.
We would like to encourage you to become involved in
your child’s education and feel that you are a part of our
St. Volodymyr family. Please take the opportunity to
become involved in our Catholic School Community
Council, volunteer for any field trips with your children,
or join us for one of our masses, liturgies or school wide
events.
We hope to see all of our families at our school wide
BBQ this evening from 6:00 to 8:00. Our CSCC has
donated some great prizes for our draw, which include: a
Blue Jays jersey, $50.00 Olympian Sports gift card,
$25.00 ITunes card, and sports equipment.
We will continue to keep our strong partnership with
Holy Family Cathedral to ensure a rich opportunity for
faith based education. On Friday, September 18th we
will have our opening mass at the Cathedral of the Holy
Family. Mass will begin at 9:30 and we would love for
you to attend.
Thank you for entrusting your most precious gifts with
us and we look forward to a great school year!

provided later this week in regards to times, materials to
bring, and skills to be covered.
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
