On Tuesday, December 13, the York House community came together at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts, for the annual Celebration of Community.

The program featured performances from both our junior and senior students, including the “Yule Faerie Tale” presented by Gr. 1-6. Ms. Ruddy, Mrs. Harvey and Mrs. Kealey participated in the performance.

The afternoon was interspersed with poems, as well as carols sung by the entire community, including Jingle Bells, Winter Wonderland, and Silent Night… putting everyone in the Christmas spirit.

The program concluded with the senior part of the program: the flute choirs, Ragazza, Una Voce and the Senior Concert Band.

Special thanks to Leith Wheeler Investments for sponsoring this wonderful event!

On Wednesday, the junior school held their traditional Candlelight Assembly.

The Candlelight Service is a long-standing and very special tradition at the school.  It is a celebration of songs and readings composed by members of Grade 7, together with the lighting of candles for Faith, Hope, Love and Peace.

Students in Grades 1-3 bring a gift, which is placed at the foot of a tree during the service. These gifts go to the Ministry of Children and Family Development for children in emergency foster care. Students in Grades 4-7 will place their hampers, going to children and families involved with the Children Affected by Family Violence Program, under the tree.

Thank you for your support of this event and your incredible generosity.
