THANK YOU!
Family Traditions Spotlight: Join the Celebration!
Share Your Family Holiday Traditions!
This December, we’re creating a special display to celebrate the many wonderful traditions that make our school community unique. Families are invited to contribute an item that represents a holiday tradition in your home—whether it’s for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Diwali, or any other celebration!
Items will be returned at the end of the month, or you may choose to donate them for an annual display. Our goal is to honor and include all traditions as we engage our Vaughan community.
If you’d like to participate, please send your item to the school office during the week of December 1-5. Thank you for helping us make this season meaningful for all!
