Kindergarten Holiday breakfast recap

Kindergarten Holiday breakfast recap

The Kindergarten holiday breakfast was a delightful morning filled with festive cheer. Children and their teachers gathered to enjoy a spread of scones, fruit, and hot cocoa, all while sharing in the excitement of the season. After breakfast, the little ones engaged in crafting activities. The highlight of the morning was a joyful sing-along. And afterwards the celebration continued in the library, where the children gathered for a story read by the Junior Campus vice-Principal. It was a joyful, memorable event that brought the whole pre-K and Kindergarten classes together in the spirit of the season.

First Pizza Lunch Recap

First Pizza Lunch Recap

A Message From Your Co-Chairs:

Hello Willingdon Families!

A big THANK-YOU to our Pizza Day volunteers for making this year’s first pizza day a great success using our new vendor Pizza Welat and a new distribution system – both appreciated by students and volunteers alike! General feedback we received from the students is that Pizza Welat is much tastier (and less spicy) and the bingo stamp was a little thrill.

We have a few things to tweak to knock next pizza day out of the park, but most importantly, Kristy and I appreciated the flexibility and general awesomeness of our parent volunteers. In no particular order: Kristin Taylor, Pam Bernstein, Andrea Taylor, Leetal Cuperman, Ghazel, Lisa Robicheau, Sophia Otoni, Amanda Scullion, Angela Yu, Amelia Pang, Alison N, Sandy Sidhu, Carolyn Bouchard, Margo Stewart, Anna Calvert, Roxanne Ross.

As we did last year, we will re-open the Pizza and Froyo ordering in January for families still wishing to participate!

Corn Roast 2024 Highlights

Corn Roast 2024 Highlights

Highlights from the Annual Willingdon Corn Roast – September 11, 2024

We couldn’t have buttered ourselves up with better weather for this year’s Corn Roast! With the help of a small but ear-nest army of volunteers, (who we cannot thank enough) we shucked, boiled, and served a corn-tastic 1,000 ears of corn. Families enjoyed a fun-filled evening with classic games like the Corn-Sack races and a tug-of-war that really pulled the crowd in, while parents got the chance to meet new faces and reconnect with old friends.

A special thank you goes out to:

  • Kristin & Jay
  • Nicholas
  • Nicolina
  • Robin
  • Heidi
  • Shaun
  • Sophia
  • Nadine
  • Ken and Violet
  • Caretaker Richard

It’s events like these that truly kernel our community spirit and create lasting memories for our kids. Keep your eyes peeled for more community-building events — after all, it takes all of us to make these moments a-maize-ing!
