Keele Street Public School

  The Scholastic Book Fair is coming! Many of us have fond memories of shopping for books and bookish supplies in our school library, and the tradition continues from November 11th to 14th at Keele. Students will have an opportunity to visit the book fair in the library at lunch or after school, as well as during parent-teacher interviews Thursday evening and Friday morning.  Browse a sample junior catalogue here  to see what kinds of books will be on sale. Books start as low as $3, and every purchase at a Scholastic Book Fair contributes Scholastic Dollars to Keele library! We need parent volunteers to help run the fair from November 10-14!

This movement, started by parents in our community, is designed to raise awareness about the negative impacts of smartphones on children and provide strategies to delay their use. Unplugged Canada helps parents come together to make it the norm for children not to have smartphones until at least the end of Grade 8.
