Just over a week ago, a group of dedicated volunteers offered up their muscle power on a Saturday morning to install a stone wall/seating space in our Kinder-Garden.
The seating now provides an outdoor classroom for primary division teachers. 
We have lots more planned for this special garden space, but it is really starting to take shape and it is really exciting that it is now fullly functional for outdoor teaching.
Thank you to all our great volunteers for this amazing work.
Every year, our kids and teachers work very hard to put on a great series of holiday concerts for us. Don’t miss out on these must-see events. Mark your calendar today!
Ghouls, goblins, mummys and zombies marched the halls of Runnymede (and that was just the teaching staff!), as our community enjoyed another great Halloween Parade on Monday. Thank you to all the teachers who looked great in their costumes and to the kids whose broad smiles were matched only by those of proud parents. Runnymede, you outdid yourselves again this year. Way to go!
A big thank you to everyone who volunteered to help with our recent pizza lunch. Volunteers truly got into the Hallowe’en spirit and made this a really fun day for the kids. Check out these hilarious shots. The next pizza lunch is November 25th.
