WEEKLY UPDATE FROM LIMEHOUSE PUBLIC SCHOOL

April 19, 2024

Kindness, Gratitude and a Growth Mindset


Dear Limehouse Families,


Limehouse Restoration Update:

If you have been saving items for the school we are ready to accept them during the day between 8:00am and 3:45 pm. 

We are having many things replaced through insurance and want to exhaust that avenue before we share lists of items to the wider community.

If you wish to make a much appreciated financial donation we are partnering with Halton Learning Foundation.

The Halton Learning Foundation (HLF) is a registered charity that supports education equity and opportunities for students of the Halton District School Board by helping to remove financial barriers. You can channel a donation directly to Limehouse using the link below.

Please click the link below, share it widely, or see it on our Website at

Helping Limehouse PS after the Fire through Halton Learning Foundation 










Frozen Jr. - May 2, 10am

It's time for Limehouse PS to go to the theatre again. Last year we thoroughly enjoyed Mary Poppins and when we found out this year's production would be Frozen we knew the students would want to go. 

Please go to School Cash Online for a payment of $19.25. Please submit your payment by Wednesday April 24 at 12 noon.

We will travel by school bus to the John Elliott Theatre in Georgetown for a matinee performance and return to Limehouse before regular dismissal. Please send the permission form coming home on Friday back to your child’s teacher as soon as you can.  We will be able to take a few parent volunteers so please indicate your interest on that form.
