Snack Shack Update
Our Snack Shack is a hit! Ms. Braid continues to work hard behind the scenes to update our snack program so that we can offer a new selection of healthy snacks for students at school. We ask that students only take one snack at a time, making sure everyone can take advantage of the program.
Happy Snacking!
Grade 8 End of Year Trip
This year, Worsley is excited to be offering the grade eight students an end-of-year trip opportunity to visit Brock University in St. Catharine’s, Ontario, and participate in leadership development, from May 29-31. Students will be staying in dormitory housing and participating in fun and engaging social events. This is an amazing trip!
The fees for our trip will be divided into installments and our first installment has now been submitted! Our second trip installment will be due at the end of April and will be the same amount as our first per student, $210. We are looking at and discussing fundraising ideas and initiatives with the students and we welcome your thoughts and ideas as we continue to explore and take on ways to help lower trip costs, especially bussing! Please contact your classroom teacher for more information or contact the office to discuss payment plans.
