Do you have access to LOTS of folding tables (like 50-60) that we can use?

Exciting Runnymede Musical Collaboration with U of T!

This week, Runnymede had the pleasure of hosting students from the University of Toronto Faculty of Music for a collaborative musical experience. Our students had the unique opportunity to work with different conductors, gaining valuable insights and inspiration.

This special event not only enriched our students’ musical education but also allowed the university students to witness the vibrancy of Runnymede’s arts programs. It was a fantastic exchange that showcased the depth and diversity of our creative initiatives.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the U of T Faculty of Music for fostering this connection and providing our students with a glimpse into the world of serious musical study. Many thanks to the students and faculty for their time, enthusiasm, and dedication to nurturing the next generation of musicians!

Building Strong Roots, Nurturing Mindful, Resilient and Joyful Families

As parents and caregivers, we all want to cultivate a resilient and joyful family life for ourselves and our kids. We want to equip them with the skills to experience life’s struggles and disappointments with strength and compassion as well as to recognize and embrace all the good stuff!

Runnymede has organized a series of FREE monthly workshops that will draw on evidence-based tools and strategies to help parents and caregivers cultivate resilience, joy, and compassion within their families while navigating the complexities of modern life.

This FREE series will consist of 2 meetings per month between January and May – one monthly 1.5 hour in-person session at the school, and one online half hour follow up session.
