WEEKLY UPDATE FROM LIMEHOUSE PUBLIC SCHOOL
June 25, 2022
Kindness, Gratitude and a Growth Mindset
Dear Limehouse Families,
It's a long one this week 😃 filled with news and summer opportunities!
Last Day of classes June 29 - Early Dismissal
On the last day of classes prior to the summer holidays, the HDSB decreases the instructional day for all schools by 90 minutes; which would equate to 70% of a regular schedule. At Limehouse, we will dismiss at 1:30 pm, busses will leave and supervision will end at 1:45 pm.
Therefore our day looks like this:
Morning Entry: 8:30
Dismissal/Busses: 1:30
Supervision Ends: 1:45
Invite to X Movement Summer Camps and Special $50 Off
We hope you are getting ready for summer. X Movement, the wellness program that came to our school this year is now offering SUMMER CAMPS.
Because we did a program with them this year, they are offering all students at our school a $50 GIFT CARD / COUPON. They also have a scholarship program for those that need additional financial aid.
Our students loved their X Movement experience so we are sharing this opportunity with our school:

Wastewise Garden Grant
Our School council acquired a $500 grant from Wastewise. We are using that money to spice up the front of the school. Each student will have the opportunity to plant and we hope that this will freshen up the look of our garden as well as provide some greta learning for all. Thanks to the School Council and Mrs Hadaller and Mr MacKay for the leadership of our students in this regard.
Sign Out 10 Books for the Summer!
We want our students to continue their reading all summer long. But not everyone can get to the public library or a book store when they’re on summer holidays. This year you can borrow 10 books from the Limehouse Library for the whole summer!
If you want to read all summer long, this is all you need to do:
Return this form, signed to the Limehouse Library the week of June 20th.
Pick out up to 10 library books that you would like to borrow and then take them home over the summer break!
Bring your own bag or use one of ours to take your books home.
Dear Families,
Please find below several links to support your child with their reading and writing over the Summer.
