Manor Park School Council

May Fair 2010 is coming!
Remember our biggest fundraiser of the year is coming up.

We will be asking you to clear out your closets to donate items for sale and fill up surprise jars.

Volunteers are always needed.

Keep the date - May 29th!!

Saturday, May 23 is Manor Park’s annual May Fair.  This is the Home and School Association’s biggest fundraiser of the year, and is a favourite among kids from the school and around the city.  Come join us for games, refreshments, and much more. The event will be at Manor Park Public School, 100 Braemar St., Ottawa

Want to Volunteer?

Each year, our biggest challenge is finding a sufficient number of volunteers for the event.  We can always use more.  High school students should know that hours spent volunteering at May Fair can go towards fulfilling their volunteer requirements.  Please contact the volunteer office at manorparkschoolcouncil@yahoo.ca

On May 4, the Manor Park School Choir joined students from around the country in celebrating Music Monday, a country-wide sing-a-long highlighting the importance of music education in Canada.  The Manor Park students were among those who sang on Parliament Hill.   The video (which I can’t seem to embed on the blog for some reason), is available on the Ottawa Citizen website:

• Music Monday on the Hill

Also, the sponsors of the event, the Coalition for Music Education in Canada, have a clip of the CBC feature on Music Monday across Canada:

On a related note, the Manor Park School choir has clearly become a huge hit with students and parents alike.   Teachers Joanna Harvey and Kendra Durnford deserve special praise for putting all this together.
