Escuela Dalhousie Weekly News

La semana del 20 al 24 de abril, 2026

Queridas Familias!

I want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible success of this year’s Read-a-Thon. Our students showed great enthusiasm and commitment to reading, once again, and we are very proud of their efforts. Thanks to our parent volunteers for organizing this fundraiser. Parents are still counting the funds raised, and we look forward to sharing the final total with you soon. We will also be announcing all prize winners, including the exciting opportunity for one student to become “Principal for an Hour”, on April 23 during a school-wide assembly in the gym. 

A quick reminder to our Grade 5 families planning to attend Qué Pasa. Please be sure to purchase your tickets as soon as possible. For families needing additional tickets, more will become available starting April 20. 

Finally, a big thank you to everyone who joined us for our first Dalhousie Movie Night. Despite the snowy weather, we had a full gym and a wonderful evening together. It was great to see so many families come out and enjoy the event.

¡Que tengan un buen fin de semana!

Spring Concerts Schedule

Kindergarten and Grade 1 Students

We are pleased to share that our Grade 1 and Kindergarten concerts are coming up soon! This year, our youngest students will have their own special performances during the school day, separate from the older grades.

To accommodate both Morning and Afternoon Kindergarten classes, Grade 1 students will perform twice:

·         Wednesday, April 29 (10:30–11:30 AM) with ALL grade 1s and AM Kindergarten (doors open at 10:15 AM)

·         Thursday, April 30 (2:30–3:30 PM) with ALL grade 1s and PM Kindergarten (doors open at 2:15 PM) 

Grade 1 families may choose which performance to attend. There are no attendance limits, so extended family members are welcome to join. While there are no costume requirements, we encourage students to dress in their fanciest clothes to make the occasion extra special. Families will also have an opportunity to take photos at the end of the concert.
