Happy Friday Douglasdale Families!
Today, our school community came together in the gym to honour and remember the brave individuals who have served in Canada’s military - both during times of war and through peacekeeping missions. Together, we reflected on the many freedoms we enjoy in Canada: the ability to share our opinions, attend public school, and play safely with friends in our community.
As our assembly came to a close, we encouraged each student to think about one small act of kindness they could do to help solve a problem or make the world a better place. As a school-wide act of kindness, we will be collecting non-perishable food donations for the Veterans’ Food Bank throughout the month of November. Families who wish to contribute are warmly invited to take part.
As we head into Fall Break, we wish all our families a restful and meaningful time together - reflecting on the sacrifices made by past and present military members and the incredible freedoms we enjoy in Canada because of their service.
Have a wonderful weekend,
DDS Administrative Team
