Mark your kids’ calendars for these fun spirit days sponsored by the student parliament — one every month, all on Fridays:
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Runnymede is sharing the spirit this year by inviting all students to
participate in Runnymede Schools’ Parliaments gift-giving initiative. Each class in the school will be asked to create two gift boxes for children in need, (one boy and one girl) to whom these gifts will be given. Each gift will be put into a wrapped box to be given to the child for the holidays. Runnymede students are asked to donate one small gift for the box value not exceeding five dollars; gently used gifts are welcome as well. Gifts can be given anytime between December 3rd and December 19th. They will be picked up Monday December 19th from each class by members of Parliament for distribution.
The giving goes on…..Runnymede Parliament is also organizing a can drive. This will begin on December 1st and will end on the 21st. All proceeds will be donated to the Canadian Food Bank. Classes’ can collection will be monitored by members of parliament, and the class which donates the most cans in each division will win a pizza party. Good Luck Runnymede and Parliament thanks you for your Generous Runnymede Spirit.
Runnymede thanks you sincerely for your participation and if your
child/children have any questions please encourage them to ask a member of Student Parliament.
Hailey Radigan
Minister of the Environment

We have established a carefully-screened list of vendor affiliates that will give a percentage of the money you spend back to Runnymede. The list was getting so long we had to create a separate page to house the links.
Check out our affiliates page to find custom links for Amazon.ca, QSP Magazines, and Mabel’s Labels, and make sure your shopping dollars go the extra mile this holiday season. A link is also available in our Hot Topics list to the right.
Did you know that on Feb 1, 2016, Runnymede is turning 100? On Feb 1, 2012, we will commemorate this important event with a four-year countdown. At this time, Runnymede will unveil its new school motto and crest. A contest is on for senior students to create a unique motto for the school that signifies what Runnymede has strived for in the past, strives to be today, and strives to be in the future.
Questions for students to think about:
Motto examples:
Mottos of other elementary schools in Toronto:
The top five mottos will be chosen and grade 1-8 students will vote online for the winner in December.
Students can submit their motto entries to their school parliament representative by Friday, Nov 25. Mottos must be 2-8 words in length to qualify. Students should be sure to include their name on their entries – a Chapters gift card will be awarded to the student with the winning motto!
