Spring Concert
The Spring Concert is taking place this Thursday, April 10. There will be two performances: a matinee/dress rehearsal at 1:00pm, and an evening performance at 6:30pm. We anticipate that each performance will be for about one hour each.
For the evening performance, we ask students to arrive at the school at 6:00pm. Doors for the gym open at 6:00pm to families and the concert will begin at 6:30pm.
To honour the work that all students have done, please plan to stay for the entire concert regardless of which concert you attend.
Also, please plan to attend ONE of the concerts only - we encourage any families that can attend the afternoon concert to try to, as the evening concert fills the chairs, leaving standing room only.
With musical performances, all children are part of the team. Please plan for your child(ren) to be at BOTH concerts.
University School Merchandise
An opportunity to purchase University School Merchandise is back! In collaboration with Big Mountain Activewear, University School will have an online store that features school merchandise such as t-shirts, hoodies, hats, bags, pants, shorts etc. All items listed are available in youth and adult sizes.

The online store will be open until Monday, April 18, and orders will be paid directly to Big Mountain Activewear. No orders will be accepted after this date. Purchased items will be individually wrapped and delivered to the school and handed out to students during school hours for the week of May 12.
Please note that there are no exchanges or refunds.
Jump Rope for Heart!
This year, students and staff at University School are participating in Jump Rope for Heart during the month of April by practicing some awesome skipping and heart-pumping activities. Jump is an inclusive event for all abilities to get kids moving and help them discover new and exciting ways to get active. Students will learn some healthy habits that they can use to keep their hearts and brains healthy and help reduce their risk of developing heart disease and stroke later in life.
University School students will be raising money to help the Heart and Stroke Foundation drive important heart and brain research that will save lives, prevent heart disease and stroke and support families living with these conditions.
If you, your family, or your friends would like to donate to University School’s fundraising efforts, please go to this link: https://jumpropeforheart.crowdchange.ca/81516.
We will be having a jump rope showcase during our school assembly on Friday, April 25.
Fun Snack - Kernels Popcorn
The next fun snack is Kernels Popcorn and it will be on Thursday, April 17. Orders must be placed at least 5 days before the delivery date so for this fun snack that is Friday, April 11.
With this fun snack there is the opportunity for families to donate / buy snacks for friends so that the school can purchase items for those students who are unable to do so themselves. It is wonderful seeing University School community coming together to help each other out.
Please go to Healthy Hunger to order your fun snacks and fun lunches.
