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.

Mount Pleasant Neighbourhood House and Vancouver Coastal Health are presenting a free workshop on teen eating & wellness. Parents and caregivers will have a chance to learn about youth disordered eating, and to ask questions of VCH clinicians.

There's also video of a presentation from the VSB that gives some context on why our feedback is being sought (but you don't have to watch the video to complete the survey.)
You can access the survey here. Results are being collected until Sunday, April 4 at 5 pm. Please take a few minutes to provide your thoughts.

In addition to collecting canned goods, the Tupper Student Council also has an online donation portal which sends donations directly to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank. Click here to donate!
If you'd rather send canned goods, they can be dropped off by students either at one of their Quarter 2 classroom, or to room B113 (Mrs. Patterson's classroom.) Cash donations are also welcome (even your spare change helps!) Donated canned goods will go to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank, and monetary donations will be used for holiday hampers. Remember, the Tupper Counselling team is also collecting grocery gift cards ($25 or $50 denominations) to help out Tupper families in need over the winter break. See this post for details. Cards can be dropped off at the school office by your student - just include a note that they are for the Counselling department. |
