Keele Street Public School

We're so excited to bring our Holiday Pop-up Shop back to Keele this year.  Starting now you can donate your new or gently used items that aren't getting the attention they deserve to the  Keele Holiday Pop-up Shop . Students will get the chance to buy the items for 25 cents to give to their friends and family over the holidays. It's a great way to reuse and recycle items you aren't using, and for the students to experience how it can feel better to give rather than receive.  We ask for the following new or gently used items to be donated (donation bin is set-up outside of the office until Wednesday December 10th):  Books,  jewelry , candles, scarves, note cards, tea towels, decorative items, picture frames, magnets, accessories, games, puzzles, stuffed animals, toys, ornaments, mugs, and more!  The pop-up shop will be held on  Tuesday December 16th  in the school library. Teachers will take their classes to the libra...

We will be having a Parent School Advisory Council meeting on Wed Nov 26th from 6:30-8pm in the school library or via Zoom ( https://caiglobal-org.zoom.us/j/92539002098 ). Babysitting and snacks are provided for the in-person meetings.  At our meetings we always hear updates from the principal, VP and staff, and discuss matters related to the school (e.g., events, fundraising, spending funds, safety, school improvement efforts, etc.) Meetings are a fun way to get involved and meet new people! Please join if you are able to participate!

  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! Please sign up here .
