Ogden News Update - LiveGreen Toronto, Piano Lessons, Badminton and more...

Ogden “LiveGreen Toronto” Playground Revitalization Day, October 22, 2015

I welcome all families to join us in thanking LiveGreen Toronto for their generous grant of $25,000 that has gone into recent schoolyard improvements. We will have a thank you ceremony in our school yard at 3:45 pm. I will also update the community on the status of our planned playground climbing structure. Our local Councilor, Joe Cressy, will be in attendance. Parents interested in helping us prepare our schoolyard for the winter are welcome to join us with gardening gloves in hand between 2 and 4 pm. We will do our best to clean out weeds, laydown mulch, and plant 1000 bulbs that will reward us with early spring colours.

Small Group Piano Lessons at Ogden
Caleb Seguin, a local musician and piano teacher, would like to offer piano lessons to interested Ogden students.  To support the program a recommended donation of $10/lesson will get us started. As your children get to know Caleb Seguin better, we can explore longer individualized sessions starting in January 2016.  If you are interested in having your child participate please send an email to andreas.ghabrial@tdsb.on.ca including your child’s name and current level of piano knowledge. I will meet with Caleb early next week to create a schedule that will accommodate as many interested students as possible.

TAC Badminton School at Ogden

Ogden APP and Home-School Communication
Thank you to the Ogden Families that are using the Ogden APP to access school information.  This application now delivers key messages and event information to our community. Once our work situation settles, it will also provide information from your child’s classroom.  Please join us at our next Council Meeting for a quick tutorial of the APP and some of its hidden features.
