Hey Panther Families,

We hope you all had a great long weekend last week and are now looking forward to the spring-like weather (eventually). This week, Parkview welcomed Ms. Van Dusen to our community as the Grade 6 teacher.

Girls at Bat!!!

Parkview has been chosen to be an affiliate school for the Jays Care Foundation. This year, we will be running the “Girls at Bat” program. Girls At Bat is an introductory level baseball program designed to reduce some of the biggest barriers anyone identifying* as a girl may face when accessing or participating in sport. Some of these barriers include, but are not limited to, sport being too competitive, having a perceived lack of skill, limited access to opportunity, and low confidence. Girls At Bat works to remove these barriers by creating spaces that empower and centre the leadership and voices of girls and provide opportunities for them to learn and play sport amongst a resilient and inclusive community. 

Any interested girls in grades 4-6 are encouraged to sign-up on the gym doors starting Tuesday, April 7th. There will also be some leadership opportunities available for girls in grades 7 & 8. Please see Ms. Brown if you are interested.

DONATE Gently Used Footwear

Parkview Public School is participating in a shoe drive, sponsored by BioPed Footcare. During the end of March and the month of April, shoes will be collected at each classroom. The classroom that collects the most pairs of shoes, during this period, will be treated to a pizza party, thanks to Bioped.

Thank you for your support with this initiative.
