Thank You for Supporting Our Terry Fox Run!
This week, St. Luke students and staff proudly participated in our annual Terry Fox Run/Walk. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the families who joined us on the route, as well as everyone who contributed to our fundraising efforts. Your support and enthusiasm reflect the amazing strength of our school community—thank you for standing alongside us in the fight against cancer!
Play Structure & Outdoor Learning Area
We are thrilled to share that our school yard received two wonderful additions this year: a brand-new Outdoor Learning Area and an exciting new Play Structure! These spaces are already providing fantastic opportunities for hands-on learning, creative play, active movement, and fresh-air connection.
Our students are absolutely loving both additions, and it has been a joy seeing their enthusiasm every day during recess and outdoor class time. Thank you to our wonderful community for supporting spaces that make St. Luke such a vibrant place to learn and grow!
Ottawa 67's School Game Day
On Wednesday, October 28th, all grade 3-6 students will attend the Ottawa 67s game against the Kingston Frontenacs at TD Place Lansdowne. The cost for each student to attend the game is $27. Any parent who wishes to attend the game as well may do so at a cost of $27 for each adult. All payments can be made at https://ocsb.schoolcashonline.com. starting on Monday October 5th.
Parents who join us for the game will chaperon a small group of students, and they must accompany students on the bus, both to and from the arena. Students, teachers and parents will leave shortly after morning announcements, at approximately 9:30 am, to prepare for the 10:30 am puck drop. Students will return to school immediately after the game via buses in the early afternoon. All students are encouraged to bring their lunch and snacks to the arena.
Permission forms, which will be sent home on Monday, must be returned to school no later than Tuesday, October 14th. Also, please fully complete both sides of the Board’s Parent/Guardian Permission Form and return it to your child’s homeroom teacher. Unfortunately, we cannot adjust numbers after our October 14th deadline.
All parent volunteers must be on the school's Volunteer List. Please see this link for information on how to apply to volunteer for any school within the OCSB. When applying, please specify that you want to volunteer with St. Luke(Nepean). We will require several parent volunteers to help make the day run smoothly. If you have questions not answered by the link, please email volunteers@ocsb.ca.
