Blue Jay Ticket Raffle & Family Fund Drive for Six Nations
This is a reminder to all staff and students of two important end of the year initiatives by your Indigenous Advocacy Committee. First up is our 2024 Toronto Blue Jays Fundraiser Raffle! We have once again received a very generous donation from the Toronto Blue Jays of 4 Premium Game Tickets and Attendance at Batting Practice on Game Day and the winner will have several dates to choose from. Tickets are $10 each or 3 tickets for $25 and are available through school cash online until midnight June 2nd. You can also purchase tickets with cash in the Main Office. All of the money raised will go to support the very important WAB Youth Program in Thunder Bay. The lucky winner will be announced on Monday June 3rd! Next up: We have begun our Spring Drive in support of Child & Family Services (Family Gatherings) at Six Nations. This will be our last drive of the school year; we want it to be our best yet and we really hope we can count on your support! Scooters & Bikes, Bubbles & Balls, Diapers & Wipes! For this drive, our theme is “Summer Family Fun” and we would like to provide games and activities that will encourage families and their children to play outdoors. So, things like sidewalk chalk, bubbles, bacci ball, kites, baseball, badminton, jump ropes, hoola hoops and anything else that will encourage outdoor play for children of all ages. We are also looking for skateboards, scooters & bicycles in good working condition. In addition, there is still a tremendous need for diapers and wipes. Don’t have time to shop? Let us do the shopping for you! Simply make a donation through school cash online (in $5 increments) and we are happy to do the shopping for you! We will be accepting donations through the month of May and will deliver them at the beginning of June. June is National Indigenous History Month, a time to focus on turning reconciliation into reconciliation! Remember, Six Nations of the Grand River is only 52 km away from Loyola and it is the largest First Nations reserve in Canada with almost 13,000 members living on reserve. Let us once again show our Indigenous neighbours the incredible giving spirit we have here at Loyola! Donations can be dropped off in the bin just outside the Main Office. Thank you for your continued support!

Chromebook Return Reminder
Loyola, Today’s forecast calls for a daytime high of 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Why am I using Fahrenheit instead of Celsius? Because the inventor of the Fahrenheit scale– Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit—was born during the month of May, and there is copy of Fahrenheit 451 here in the podcast booth. The long-range forecast calls for the return of Chromebooks. Please return Chromebooks by Monday, June 3. Math EQAO will need Chromebooks in mid-June.
