Dear Ogden Families;
Thank you for your continued support of our community school. With May around the corner, we continue planning great things for our students. It is also time to plan for the year ahead.
It is with this in mind that I inform you that I have accepted a position overseas at the Canadian International School in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam for the next school year. While sad to leave Ogden, I am excited about this international experience. I am in constant awe of Ogden families with connections all around the world. I will now be able to use what I have learned from you to make the most of this adventure for my family.
Please be sure to join us at the next School Council Meeting on May 11, 2016 at 5:30 pm for updates about school plans for this year and next.
Thank you for supporting our teachers and all the good things that have happened, are happening and will continue to happen at Ogden.
Sincerely,
Andreas Ghabrial, Principal

Dealing with the issue of Homelessness in our Communty
For the month of March, Room 10 will be doing a project on Homelessness. We will be learning about why people are homeless and what we can do help them. Many homeless people do not have money, friends, or go to school. Room 10 will be collecting money to help buy new socks for the homeless people. Please donate your loose change into the blue piggy bank in the office.
Thank you for helping the homeless people in Toronto.

Happy New Year!
Ogden Nutrition Program
Ogden has a fantastic morning nutrition program because of our amazing parents who step forward to coordinate and volunteer. The Nutrition Coordinator role is a very important one at Ogden and we thank Hala Taboul for doing a splendid job in developing the program during her time as Coordinator. Hala has passed on the Coordinator role to Kavita Aggarwal who is publishing her first snack calendar on the back of this update. We continue to need parent volunteers to help in the preparation of snacks. Please drop in to meet Kavita and lend a hand at 2pm in our kitchen. Your continued support is essential for the sustainability of this program that supports all of our children.
