Gratitude   

Thanks to our parent volunteers for their hard work, getting the Purdy’s orders and the Winter Flowers organized and delivered to families. We appreciate all the work you do to fundraise for the school.

Candy Grams 

Grade 6 are doing a candy gram fundraiser on Monday Dec 16th. This fundraiser is to raise funds for our grade 6 year end celebration and spread some holiday cheer. Students in grades 1-6 can buy a candy-gram for another student or for themselves for a dollar. Sorry kindergarten will not be participating. 

Please send the exact change with your child on Monday Dec 16, if they wish to make a purchase. We will be limiting the first round of buying to a maximum of 2 per student and then selling any remaining candygrams on Tuesday Dec 17.

SVS Families, teachers and friends of the community, today FRIDAY December 13th is our Panago Pizza night for the month, please use the code SCHOOL15 at the Beacon hill location to save 15% and fundraise 15% back to SVS.
