Living and Working in Ontario

Earlier this week, Mr. Shah came to our class to share with the students about his personal experiences of living and working in Ontario.  Mr. Shah spoke about the various places his family lived and why they finally settled in Aurora, Ontario.  He also shared with the students about why he chose to open up an ice cream business in the city along the Toronto Beaches.  We are so grateful to our parent and community members for coming in to share their lived experiences with the students and enhance their understanding of the curriculum by allowing them to make personal connections to the content.

Pay It Forward

A tradition among the graduating class at Rick Hansen P.S., students devote their energy and time to help a local community organization.  This year, our graduating class has decided they want to help the Salvation Army and Soles for Souls.  Our graduating class will be collecting used clothing and shoes from April 1st until May long weekend.  If your family has any gently used clothing and shoes that you no longer need and can donate, please have your child bring it to the school.  Thank you for your continued support.
