Save the Date: End of Year Community Soirée!

Remember last year’s end of year Par-Tay? That was so 2023! This year, we are cordially inviting all Rosedale Heights P.S. students and their families to our even better End of Year Community Soirée! We look forward to seeing our entire Rosedale Heights P.S. community join us on the back tarmac for an evening of food, fun and festivities on Tuesday, June 25th from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. There will be an awesome dance party hosted by Superfly Entertainment, dancers, delicious fruit, games, art activities, field sports, temporary tattoos, a firetruck and the return of that amazing portrait artist to capture all the memories! (And the event is rain or shine … so it won’t rain!)

And best of all, the event is entirely free! That’s right, with your support from our Winter Wonderland fundraiser (thank you) you are all invited at no cost!

Additionally, if you’d like, you can skip making dinner, because we’ll have three (three!) food trucks on hand, as well! Road Grill, Spring Loaded and Rancho Relaxo will have their fantastic food for sale (cash and carry). An ice cream truck will also have all manner of frozen desserts to enjoy, too (cash and carry). And there will even be … wait for it … a funnel cake truck (cash and carry)!

Be sure to mark the date down today, because we want to see all 442 students and their families at our end of year Soirée!

Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week

Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week is held during the first full week of May.  On May 6th through May 10th Rosedale Heights P.S. will be engaging in a variety of wellness goals throughout the week featuring: Mindful Monday, Thoughtful Tuesday, Wellness Wednesday, Take Care Thursday and Focus Friday.

Interested in joining the campaign?  The YRDSB has prepared a family toolkit (linked) with links to various resources you can use to explore wellness activities at home.  What’s more, the toolkit offers a range of mental health related learning for parents on topics including concussions, substance abuse, vaping, enhancing children’s mindsets, and promoting healthy thinking among other areas as well as dozens of family-oriented wellness opportunities you might engage in with your children at home.

There are many ways to be healthy and promote mental health. The toolkit (linked) aims to provide resources and opportunities that support positive mental health through small and intentional actions.

Together, let’s support mental health and well-being!
