Dear Dundas Families,

We had a wonderful week in snowy conditions here at Dundas. We had a successful Parent/Caregiver Math Event. Our students in different classes enjoyed experiences like ukulele, swimming and a delicious Lunar New Year lunch!

A huge thank you to the Queen Alexandra Dragon Dancers for their fantastic performances for the school. Another huge thank you to Ms. Duong for organising the event. It was truly amazing to have such a colourful, energetic and culturally significant performance put on in our very own gym! We wish all of our families who celebrate a very happy New Year!

Donating To Student Nutrition Program

Hello Dundas Community,

I would like to thank everyone who supports the school lunch program and I am excited that we have been able to create new dishes this year. A lot of the students have been able to provide positive feedback and give me new ideas that they would like to see. 

I also hope that everyone in the school is enjoying the morning meal. The morning meal consists of three food groups: Grain, Fruit or Veg and Protein. This program is open to all the students here at Dundas and relies solely on monetary donations from the families at Dundas. The funding from the government can only go so far as the food prices are constantly rising. 

If you would like to donate to the program and help us continue to serve students their favourite morning meal items please follow the instructions below:

Website Donation Procedure: 

To make a donation for our snack and lunch programs please go to the Toronto Foundation for Student Support (TFSS) donation page: https://tfss.ca/donate/schoolsites-snp/
