Dear Members of the Whole Child School Community;
The WCS-Interior Space Committee has been meeting regularly and working hard to design and gather resources in order to create a beautiful and stimulating learning environment for all of our children who will be attending Whole Child School. At this point, we would like to share with you the list of supplies and resources that we have put together, in conjunction with the teachers who will be teaching our children.
Please have a look around your home, or ask family and friends, and see if you might have some of these items that you could donate to Whole Child School. As yet, each of the committees is working with a VERY limited budget, so anything that we can access from within the WCS community of parents and guardians is greatly appreciated!
Please also be aware that there is a new discussion forum which is accessible to all of you. It is very straightforward to register and sign in, and it can be found by clicking on the following link:
http://forum.wholechildschool.ca/
This list will also be posted on the forum, under the category “TEACHERS WEBSHOP.”
If you do have items to donate, please choose one of the following two options:
1. Login to http://forum.wholechildschool.ca/ and post the item on the TEACHERS WEBSHOP (with a photo, if possible), OR,
2. Send an email to chisholmd@rogers.com regarding the item you would like to donate.
We thank you very much for helping us to gather together some of these resources and supplies. We know that “It takes a village to raise a child…” so let’s work together to create a beautiful learning space in which our children will grow and explore!
Sincerely,
Whole Child School Interior Committee
