Some of you may remember that at last year's Spring into Summer event kicked off with a big group Flash Mob, choreographed by Dovercourt parent Monica Dottor. We're excited to be doing it again at Spring Fling on May 31st, once again with Monica's expert help! The flash mob will take place at 3:45pm. This year's song is I Gotta Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas, and we want to fill the yard with dancing Dovercourt Dragons: students, parents, caregivers, teachers and staff! That means we all need to learn the moves. Here is Monica demonstrating this year's dance: And here is a video with step-by-step instructions:

SAC's subcommittee against education cuts has to share the following information: Dear Parents/Guardians/Caregivers, As you may already be aware, the TDSB’s budget process for 2024-25 is currently underway. During a Special Meeting on April 4, 2024, Trustees approved a motion that outlined several actions to take place over the next few weeks related to the TDSB budget. Last week, the Chair sent a letter to the Minister of Education to highlight the budgetary challenges we continue to face as a Board and to ask that the Ministry of Education address these funding concerns. Read the full letter here. Trustees have also created a brief survey to gather feedback from communities as they consider next steps with regard to the budget. Please find a link below and complete as many of the 7 questions as possible. Thank you in advance for your participation. The budget survey will remain open until Friday, May 3, 2024 at 12 noon. Budget Survey (Click here to complete the survey) Additionally, Trustees will hold four Budget Town Hall meetings to give all members of the TDSB community the opportunity to learn more about the budget, ask questions and provide feedback.
