A Note from Principal Tony Byers
November brings many wonderful things, including glorious foliage, family gatherings, and crisp fall air. November also brings our first parent-teacher conferences. As a teacher, I loved the first parent-teacher conference of the year. Read more from Tony >>

G&P Happenings
November is quite a busy month, from parent-teacher conferences to parent focus groups to our World Foods Potluck. Read on for all the details >> 

What a Wonderful Back-to-School Potluck!
Thanks to all who came out to enjoy each other's company, mingle, make a few new friends, and say hello to our new principal Tony Byers, our new School Administration Manager Jodie Darnell, and our new Sheltered English Immersion Liaison Mildrid Gédéon. Welcome back everyone! Special thanks to members of the Friends of Graham & Parks who handled set-up and clean-up for the event. It could not have happened without all of you!
