As we come to the end of a school year unlike any other, the Tupper PAC on behalf of our parent community would like to say a heartfelt thank-you to our amazing Tupper teachers, administrators, and support staff. You have continued to show up for our students throughout this year of constant stress and anxiety - and that on top of navigating a first-ever quadmester system and several changes on the fly to the structure of courses and timetables! We deeply appreciate your perseverance through the challenges of this new reality, and we join you in hoping that next September will see a much more normal Tupper world. We've invited parents to add their thanks & thoughts to ours in the comments below.
Thank you all, and best wishes for a relaxing and restful summer! Sincerely, Mary Levitan & Christy Thomas, PAC Co-Chairs, and the Tupper PAC executive

Thank you to everyone who has dropped off donations for the Staff Appreciation Breakfast! If you still want to contribute, it's not too late. We are accepting items until Monday, May 31st. See this post for more information on how to help.
If anyone is planning to donate but hasn't picked anything up yet, the biggest remaining need is for more Caffe Artigiano gift cards to provide coffee at the breakfast. (Any excess gift cards will be used as draw prizes!) Contact June at [email protected] if you have any questions about donations. Thanks! Grade 11 Tupper student Deeya Parekh has coordinated with the YMCA to offer a 2 day webinar aimed at educating youth about the realities of gangs before they are approached or recruited to join. "An Ex-Gangster's Tale: Journey, Risks, and Impacts" will be held on May 29th & 30th and offers an opportunity to listen and engage with former gang members on their stories. The first day is just for youth age 11-16, and the second day for parents & all concerned community members.
For more information including the list of speakers, see the flyer for the event here. Registration in advance is required. To register, click here for youth age 11-16, and here for parents. This year's Tupper Staff Appreciation Breakfast will be a modified version again compared to years past. We're planning a similar event to last year, with individually packaged pastries for teachers & staff, but would like to add back two other parts from our traditional breakfast - coffee, and a gift card & wine draw.
The breakfast is scheduled for Friday, June 4th. Here's what you can do to help us:
Please contact PAC executive member June Adamson at [email protected] for information on where to drop off donations. Here's hoping that next year will be back to our traditional hot breakfast - but for now, thanks for helping us thank our amazing Tupper staff. |
