On May 3rd, 2018 the students in Grades 7 and 8 will be performing their Spoken Word and Movement piece in the TDSBCreates Performance at the Toronto Centre for Performing Arts. The students competed against groups from all over the TDSB in grades 7-12 and were chosen by a jury of professional Spoken Word and Dance artists. Our theme was the Narratives of Now with a focus on the loss and support of those affected by Hurricane Maria. The piece is titled "Maria".
Our School Track & Field Day was a success! The kids were terrific! The support was great . There was a lot of energy & enthusiasm!

We look forward to an exciting evening!
100th Anniversary What a wonderful celebration! The performances were first rate, the displays were engaging, and you could feel the excitement throughout the school. We had close to 400 guests. A special thank you to staff, community members and committee for putting together such a successful event! Elementary summer programs increase engagement and build self-confidence in our students. This summer, from July 4 – 27, TDSB is opening schools across the city to help build reading, writing and math skills in students from K- 8. Applications are available in the office. You may also visit www.tdsb.on.ca/summer for a complete list of participating schools. @TDSB_ConEd The LC3 Math in Our Lives Symposium was a huge success! There was an abundance of great math activities from Early Years to Intermediate level for our community to explore and enjoy. For families who may not have been able to attend, the following site has a collection of all of the games and resources shared at the event:
