SIT - NEW CIRCLES NEEDS OUR HELP!
Our friends at New Circles have reached out to us for our support. Since moving to a larger space last year, they have been able to accommodate even more families. More clients means more demand, and New Circles is experiencing an unusual shortage of girls' clothing, winter coats and boots of all sizes. With winter fast approaching, the HC community will be collecting gently used items throughout the month of November. Collection boxes will be set up outside the Learning Hub. Coats, snow-pants, boots, hats, mittens, clothing and (new) socks and underwear of all sizes are all greatly appreciated. To learn more about this valued Community Partner, please visit their website: http://newcircles.ca/

COFFEE MORNING - IF ENGLISH IS NOT YOUR FIRST LANGUAGE
In an effort to assist our Junior School families, for whom English is not your first language, with a better understanding of what goes in inside our ivy-covered walls, we invite you to join us for a coffee morning in the Learning Hub on Thursday, December 3 from 10:00-11:30 am. Come learn more about the Havergal academic curriculum and other school news. We are pleased to offer translators at this session for all those who RSVP with a language request. Please contact Sara Ly at sly@havergal.on.ca or call 416.483.3843 extension 6915 before November 27.
