On behalf of the entire staff of Dante School, we
would like to take this opportunity to wish you
and your family the very best for the Holiday
Season. May the New Year be filled with peace,
happiness and good health.

H 1 N 1 VACCINATION
50 students from Dante School were accompanied by Dante staff and parent volunteers to the vaccination center at Ecole
Reine Marie on St. Michele Blvd. on December 10th. Some parents also met their
children at the center. The children were
nervous but pulled through with flying
colors.
Hats off to you—the students for being
very courageous.
BAKE SALE AND BOOK FAIR
On December 1st, 2nd and 3rd, Dante
had its annual Book Fair and Bake Sale
during Parent– Teacher Interview.
Both were a great success. Many baked
goodies were sent in by the parents to
delight the taste buds of our little ones.
Thank you to all those who contributed.
The Book Fair was also a success, with
many diverse titles for the children to
chose from.
All this was possible thanks to the
teachers and parents who volunteered
countless hours to this event. Thank
You

Nous tenons à remercier tous les parents qui
participent activement à notre projet d’école,
BOITE À LUNCH SANS DÉCHET NI
RECYCLAGE. Ce projet avait lieu tous les 2
mercredis en 2009 et aura lieu tous les
mercredis en 2010.
Ensemble on fait vraiment la différence, au début
de ce projet les sacs à ordures sortaient aux
nombres de 13 par jour à l’heure du diner
maintenant ce n’est que 7 à 8 nous avons coupé
de moitié, seulement nous pensons que nous
pouvons faire beaucoup mieux, mais nous avons
besoin de votre implication.
Notre projet nous fait vraiment honneur, nous
avons participé au concours LA POMME
VERTE DE METRO, nous avons gagné la
première bourse de mille dollars, ce prix nous a
été remis mercredi le 16 décembre au SUPER C
de St-Léonard rue Jean Talon. Ce concours
consistait à présenter une initiative
CTV—SPIRIT OF GIVING
Dante Elementary teachers and students
along with Laurier Macdonald IB students
helped create Santa’s Village on December
8th for the CTV Spirit of Giving Campaign. Staff and students were asked to
bring non-perishable items to take part in
the holiday fun. A special thank you to the
Spirit of Giving organizing committee (Ms.
Sabina Di Zazzo, Ms. Sandra Ferrara, Ms.
Melissa Gentlemen, Mr. Ryan Grad, Ms.
Maria Grasso, Ms. Franca Mambro, Ms.
Maria Seliskar and Ms. Tania Siconolfi),
parents, teachers and the community for
their generosity and support. .
CHANGE OF CLOTHES/
INCLEMENT WEATHER
The cold weather is upon us. Students are
asked to dress properly for the weather and
have a change of clothes especially extra socks
in order to avoid calls at home or at work.
Also, please label clothes or mark boots since
many students have similar clothing.

SCHOOL
PARKING LOTS
Please be advised
that the school parking lots are to be
used for staff parking and not a drop
off area for your
children. Safety is
being compromised
by allowing your
children to cross a
parking lot while
cars are entering.
Your cooperation is
of the utmost importance in this matter.
