Get ready for a gourd-geous time at Willingdon’s spooktacular Pumpkin Parade this Halloween!
Everyone’s invited to carve or paint a pumpkin and bring it in on Halloween day. Students will have a blast checking out all the boo-tiful designs and voting for their top pumpkin picks. It’s a fang-tastic celebration of creativity and Halloween spirit—let’s make this a pumpkin party to remember!
Thursday 31st October.
Drop-off at the Royal side cafeteria during morning BASE, or between 8.55-9.05am.
Please LABEL them with the kids name/family name and a contact phone number.
If you’d like to take them home at the end of the day, please come in and pick them up.
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!
– Daniela & Kristy
Commitment: Just 5 1/2 hours spread over 3 days:
Your participation will make this event unforgettable!
Don’t miss out on the chance to be part of something thrilling.
We need your creative talents to bring our Halloween haunted house to life! If you have artistic flair, we’d love your help in designing cardboard props and signs. Additionally, we are looking for volunteers to set up on the day of the event.
Volunteer Opportunities:
An initial volunteer introduction zoom call will take place on Monday, October 21st at 7pm.
It takes a village to create the magic our kids look forward to every year. Any time you can offer will make a difference!
Please share your ideas and join us in making this Halloween a memorable one!
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:
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!
We’re delighted to have Dave Handelman, a Willingdon parent, capture our memories. During school events that Home and School supports, such as Halloween, Dave photographs children whose parents signed media release form. For Home and School events outside regular school hours, Dave freely photographs. However, if you would like to have a photo of your child/family removed from the website, please contact Home and School and we’ll be happy to oblige.
