Terry Fox 2024

Brock PS will be participating in this year’s Terry Fox Marathon of Hope on Tuesday October 1, 2024.

You may show your support by visiting our school’s online fundraising page: 

https://schools.terryfox.ca/BrockPSToronto

Last year we raised $3,170.00.

Our goal this year is to raise $3330.00 for Terry Fox Cancer Research Foundation. We will be participating in various activities within our classes and as a school community to learn more about Terry Fox and honour his legacy.

Today, the future of cancer research is very bright.  The Terry Fox Foundation funds a variety of different cancer research projects such as lung, breast, ovarian, colorectal, pediatric, prostate, brain and blood. 

Thank you for supporting our school in the fight against cancer and keeping Terry’s dream alive!

Brock Scares Hunger Food Drive

Room 20 is organizing the Brock Scares Hunger Campaign and is collecting non-perishable food items for the Daily Bread Food Bank! We will begin collecting from Monday, September 30, until Friday, October 11.  Donation bins will be located in the main hallway. It would be greatly appreciated if you could kindly donate non-perishable items such as dried pasta, canned fruits/vegetables, beans, cereal, oatmeal, and even baby formula. Our goal is to collect more than 600 pounds of food. 

Let's SCARE hunger TOGETHER!

Thank you.

Grade 7/8 Podcasts

 

Students in Mr. Vaillancourt and Mr. Dantowitz's classes have been working hard with our coach, Ms. Wander on podcasts! We were able to purchase some very professional recording equipment for students to use. Their first assignment was to create a podcast about their name to honour and share identities. Here are a few samples for your listening pleasure!

Name Podcast 1- Leo

Name Podcast 2- Sahana

Name Podcast 3- Iris

Cold Weather Notice

Fresh air and exercise are important for children. It keeps them physically fit, and helps them stay alert all through the school day. Parents can help by making sure their children come to school prepared to spend time outdoors. Hats, mitts, boots and a warm jacket are important to keep students comfortable during lunch and recess. Students are reminded that they are to wear everything that they were sent to school with whenever they go outdoors.

The TDSB Severe Weather Protocol is flexible, so that every principal can make a decision that meets the needs of his or her school. It sets guidelines for when to allow students outside for recess, when to make outdoor breaks shorter, and when to keep students inside altogether. 

Elementary school students are kept indoors for recess and lunch times for a number of weather conditions such as rain, lightning in the area, extreme winds and extreme cold. When temperature and wind chill measure -28C or lower, students are kept indoors. Recesses and lunch hour may be shortened if the temperature and wind chill reading is between -20C and -28C.

Thank you for your cooperation to keep our students safe and warm during the winter months!
 

Immunization Records

As the new school year begins, it is important for Toronto Public Health and schools to have updated immunization information for your child. Please see the photo for what to do if you receive a letter from Public Health.
