Thank you to our parent volunteers for organizing another successful Holiday Market! There were homemade latkes, baked treats, books, toys, stationery, and handmade gifts. All the girls and parents were in an incredibly festive mood and had great fun shopping and enjoying the holiday treats. The success of these events is measured by the smiles we see, and boy were there lots of smiles! Happy Holidays everyone!
Three teams of Grade 5 and 6 students competed at the Kids’ Lit Quiz provincial tournament on November 29th. Over the course of three hours, teams were asked to answer 100 questions on children’s literature from different genres and time periods. Our York House girls brought great enthusiasm and competitiveness to this annual ‘sport of reading’ competition. They impressed everyone with their knowledge of literature, passion for reading, and teamwork!
