Grandparents’ Day 2022

When spring term rolls around it is time to celebrate one of York House School’s most treasured and long-standing tradition, Grandparents’ & Grandpals’ Day. Regrettably, we are unable to host this event in person this year, but we have high hopes to gather together with treats, coffee and tea to celebrate this wonderful tradition at YHS in person next year.

We eagerly wait for the return of this in-person gathering with our Grandparents & Grandpals. In the meantime, we have a special message from our Head of School, Mme Julie Rousseau, and our students expressing their appreciation and gratitude for their Grandparents & Grandpals. 

We invite you to share this video with your daughter’s grandparents, and we hope to see everyone next year!

Ms. Dalziel Spirit Run

The Ms. Dalziel Spirit Run happened for the first time, in person, on April 5th, 2022. It was a school-wide event organized for my Capstone project. This Spirit Run honours the memory of a much-beloved teacher, Megan Dalziel, who lost her battle with cancer in 2019. Ms. Dalziel was my gym teacher throughout my time in the Junior School and had a profound impact on me. It was so important to me to have the whole school participate and we were so lucky to have a beautiful day on the run.

Though donations weren’t mandatory we were able to raise some money for Stem Cell Research and have donated it to BC Women’s Hospital. I hope that this run may become annual and continue on in the years to come! Anyone who wishes to donate to this important research can do so at http://www.bcchildrens.ca/donate.
