Colour House Update: What an exciting week at New Dundee! The student learned about integrity during our colour house activities. Next week, colour house will be on Friday, April 10. Please wear your house colour – Go Blue! Go Green! Go Red! Go Yellow!
East Side Mario’s Pasta lunch: Your East Side Mario’s Pasta lunch orders are due Tuesday morning by 9:00 a.m. We are pleased to announce that these lunches will continue for the remainder of the school year.
Music Concert: We are excited for our Music Concert on May 6 (12:15 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.) at New Dundee Public School! Our students will be performing the songs they wrote, produced, and recorded last fall with Katherine Wheatley. Due to limited number of seats available, we would like to determine how many families are planning on attending and the number of chairs that need to be set up. We are limited to the number of chairs permitted in our gym which is 220. Please fill out the survey to help us plan for this event.
School lunch committee: We are looking for 3 to 5 volunteers who are interested in joining the school lunch committee. This committee will look at the purpose of hot lunches, the food available, and the cost. The committee will meet at least 3 times before the end of the school year. If you are interested in the committee, please email andrea_michelutti@wrdsb.on.ca
Community events: The New Dundee Optimist Club will be having their Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 4 at 9:00 a.m. at the New Dundee Park in front of the bandshell. All families are welcome to attend this fun event.
