Thank you to our students for supporting the Me to We team! We are close to reaching our goal.
Monday, May 4 is Colour House Day. Show your #NDDpride by wearing your house colours.
Music Monday: Please sign the permission form for your child to attend the Music Monday field trip on May 4. If you are free at 12:30 p.m., please join us as we walk to Maple Heights (1108 Queen Street) and sing for our neighbours. If it is raining, the students will perform the song “We are One” in the gym.
Music Concert on Wednesday night: 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. Students are asked to come to school between 6:30 p.m. and 6:50 p.m. and report to their classrooms. 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.
French Soirée: Bonjour à tous et à toutes!
You are cordially invited to a French Soirée hosted by Mme. Upton and students at New Dundee PS! It has been a great start to the French program at New Dundee, and we want to give our parents and families an opportunity to come to the school and meet the new French teacher! There will be authentic French treats and a few more surprises! You won’t want to miss out.
Please join us on Thursday, May 14 between 3:40 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. OR 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the French Room
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mme. Upton at the school. Hope to see you there! À bientôt!
