WEEKLY UPDATE FROM LIMEHOUSE PUBLIC SCHOOL
April 18, 2025
Kindness, Gratitude and a Growth Mindset
Dear Limehouse Families,
We wish you a Happy Easter weekend and remind you that there is no school Friday April 18 or Monday April 21.
Earth Week is coming up! Our annual Earth Day clean up will be Tuesday, April 22nd, we will not be providing plastic gloves to reduce unnecessary waste and our carbon footprint. We encourage students to bring their own reusable gloves, such as gardening gloves, winter gloves, or other durable options. Following the clean up, your child will bring those gloves back home to be washed and used again for their original purpose.
We will also be introducing Litterless Lunch Wednesdays for the rest of the school year! With our first Litterless Lunch on Wednesday, April 23rd and every following Wednesday! This means try to use reusable containers in your student's lunch. If you do send any garbage or recyclable items to school we will ask that your student bring them home with them in their lunch bag. This is called a boomerang lunch. We hope you get into the habit of not sending garbage to school.
Thursday, April 24th We love the Earth Spirit Day! Dress up in your favourite green, brown, and blue clothing and show off your love for our planet!
Together we will reduce waste at Limehouse! Thank you so much for helping with ourEco School initiatives!
Jump Rope for Heart is coming soon!
Limehouse is pleased to be holding a Heart & Stroke Jump Rope for Heart event on Friday, May 2nd. All money raised will support Heart & Stroke in their mission to promote children’s health and fund vital heart and stroke research.
Jump Rope for Heart encourages kids to get active by skipping rope while they collect pledges for heart disease and stroke research. They also learn the importance of living a healthy lifestyle and giving back to their community. This year Heart & Stroke is striving to get 1 million kids jumping in close to 4,000 schools across Canada. Let’s be part of it! We need your help to reach our School fundraising goal this year of $2000.
Please help support your child’s fundraising efforts by registering them online at jumpropeforheart.ca and send out donation request emails to friends, family and colleagues. This year all fundraising will be online. Online fundraising is the quickest way to reach all of your contacts and online donors receive an automatic tax receipt. Plus, when students raise money online they can earn bonus prizes including gift cards from Chapters/Indigo, Walmart and Amazon.ca!
Please visit jumpropeforheart.ca and start fundraising today!
Thank you in advance for your support of such a great cause!
Go Lynx!
