Cather Nicholls Gunn school Christmas Store
Each year the grade 6 class at CN Gunn collects gently used items and build a Christmas Store. Students from the school are then able to shop and purchase gifts for their families for Christmas.
For the past few years we have been the sister school to CN Gunn. Our families have generously donated gently used and new items to this cause.
Items We’re Accepting:
- Clothing: Coats, toques, mitts, scarves, and more.
- Holiday Décor and Home Decor
- Toys & Games: Bring joy to children with toys, puzzles, and games.
- Books
- Household Items
- Anything else you think would be a great gift this holiday season
Please bring in your items by December 10, 2024 Thank you for your generosity!"

Concert information
A few details:
· As we are short on space, we ask that each student only have 2 guests. If you are bringing small children who can sit on your lap they are not included in the 2, should they require a chair the need to be one of the guests.
· Doors will open 15 minutes prior to the event starting
· If you would like to take your child who is performing home with you after the concert, please email your classroom teacher prior to the concert. To avoid large disruption in all classrooms we ask that you NOT ask to have sibling come out and go home early but wait until regular dismissal.
· Please remember without written permission we can not allow any individuals to pick up your child other than those listed as primary contacts on your registration form so if someone else is taking your child home you must email the classroom teacher, preferably before school that day.
