Lost and Found Reminder
On Monday December 9th, all lost and found
items will be put on display at the front of the
school. These items will remain available to stu-
dents and parents until December 18st when
they will be packed up and sent to Stretch.
Items collected after December 12th will not be
included in this culling, but will remain at the
school until the March Break.
Be Vigilant - Keep Checking for Lice and Nits
As you may be aware, according to York Region District School Board policy, a
student with lice or nits must be removed from class
and may not return to class until ALL nits (eggs) have
been removed from the hair. Please take a moment to
check your child‟s head on a regular basis. In order
for the school to facilitate classroom checks, we re-
quire volunteers. If you would like to be trained to
check for lice, please contact the school. For fur-
ther information about Head Lice please contact
York Region Public Health Services.
Christmas Gift Giving
As staff and students plan for the holidays they have been discussing
gift giving. If your family has been considering the purchase of a gift
for their teacher, please consider a donation to: “Free The Children”
in their honour. Both staff and the student team support this idea.
Office Message
Safety and Inclusivity is the focus for all our students at
Morning Glory Public School
As some of our students have life-threatening allergies to peanuts/nuts
and nut products, we would like to remind parents that we are a nut
safe school. We also do not allow Nutella or Wow Butter . Although
Wow Butter is nut free, it is not really safe as it presents just as much
anxiety and stress to the child with anaphylaxis nut allergies as the
real thing. Think about it in the same way we do replica guns - they may
not hurt you, but they are still pretty threatening to some. If you have
any questions or concerns please call the office at 705-437-1537.
Focused on Instruction
As we try to cut down on interruptions in the class-
rooms during instructional time, parents must help
us by sending notes with their child or by calling the
office before lunch if any bus changes are to be
made. This applies to early pick up as well. We un-
derstand emergencies and that plans can change last
minute and we will always try to accommodate these requests, but we

2014 Christmas Holiday Concert December 11th from 6:30pm to 7:30pm

cert will feature students from
our junior and senior kindergarten

classes. Our Intermediate Music
Club will also play for us. Details
for the evening are as follows:
Students performing in the concert, must be at the school no later
than 6:15pm - they will go to their homeroom classes
The concert will begin at 6:30pm - Please be on time
Parents and guests are expected to park in the school parking lot
Volunteers will be at MGPS to help direct traffic
Parents and Guests will also be able to access the building from our
entry doors at the back of the school where additional parking will
be provided - it‟s closer to the gym
We ask that all students are picked up in their homeroom classes
at the end of the concert
To make room for guests in the gym, after performing, students
will return with their teachers to programming in the library
A donation box will be located at the entry doors of the gym if you
would like to support the school‟s music and extra-curricular
programs
Sincerely,
Morning Glory Staff

Congratulations to the Intermediate Girls’ Volleyball Team on
their 2nd place season finish! The girls have exhibited great
results along with excellent and sportsmanship all season! 1st
place at the Sutton Public School tournament and 3rd place at
the R.L. Graham tournament. Great work ladies! We are proud
of your tremendous improvement! Team members: Rachel, Emily, Rebecca, Grace, Savannah Nicole,
Rachel, Keelan, Anna, and Taylor. Ms. Symes and Mrs. Stapleton
The Senior Boys’ Volleyball Team finished third in the R.L.
Graham Invitational, played on November 12th and showed some
great skill and teamwork.
On November 26th, 9 athletes took part in the Area tournament
at Sutton High. The team cruised through the first three round
robin games beating WJ Watson, Fairwood and Jersey. We lost a
close one to Deer Park by a score of 25- 22. The next game was
against RL Graham. The game was close, but we ended up losing
25- 23 and unfortunately, we didn‟t have enough points to
advance to the final round.
Thank you to a great group of young men, to the staff and stu-
dents of Sutton High for hosting the tournament, and to the
parents who drove and supported our team.
Team members are: Will, Markus , Nick, Nolan Tyler, Doug ,
Cole , Brandon , Colton, and Josh.

Dear Parents/Guardians,
As the holiday season approaches, staff and students are thinking about how we can make a difference in the lives of
others. Our “WE SCARE HUNGER” campaign was an incredible success! We sent over 1800 products to our local food
bank, the Georgina Food Pantry. Thank you goes out to our grade 7/8 „WE DAY‟ students for organizing this drive. As
well, a huge thank you goes out to all of our families who donated food to this program!
Now we are thinking about global action we can take to make a difference in our world. In the past several years, many of our Morning Glory families have
given a donation to “Free the Children” as a Christmas gift to a staff member.
If you are considering a gift for a staff member, please consider donating a sum of money to “Free the Children” in honour of that person(s).
Last year, we sent about $1000.00 to this charity, helping a third world country build a school, or provide classrooms with school supplies, or provide a
lunch program for students. What a great way to say “Merry Christmas” to a Morning Glory staff member! “Free the Children” will provide a charitable
tax
receipt for all donations over $10. If you require a tax receipt, please provide us with the information in the chart below. Cheques should be made out
to Morning Glory Public School. We will send one cheque to “Free the Children” and we will send in your tax information to them at the same time.
If you google “Free the Children” or “Me to We”, you can check out more of this group‟s worthwhile activities. Thank you for your support. If you have any
questions, please contact me at the school (705.437.1537).
