Dear families
Spring is here with snow and sun! This week started with winter-like weather with lots of snow, and ended with warm sunshine and most of the snow melted, It was a good reminder how important it is to check the weather in the morning and ensure your students are dressed appropriately for the day. Besides going outside for recesses, students also go outside for various learning activities.

We will plan to have our next Fire Drill on Wednesday April 9.

Wellness Day
We are thrilled to announce that King George School will be hosting its eighth annual Wellness Day on Friday, May 30, 2025! This much-anticipated event is designed to empower our students with the tools, knowledge, and inspiration to lead active, healthy, and balanced lives. From mindfulness to movement, nutrition to stress management, Wellness Day is all about helping young minds and bodies thrive.
We are looking for volunteers who can share their skills and expertise with our students. Your involvement will help shape a meaningful and enriching experience, making a lasting impact on our school community.
What to Expect
Wellness Day will be packed with interactive and engaging sessions tailored to different age groups for our students in Kindergarten to grade 5.
The event will kick off with an inspiring keynote speaker, followed by three to four dynamic 45-minute sessions (per grade), where students will explore different aspects of well-being. We'll even squeeze in a short nutrition break to keep everyone energized!
How You Can Contribute
We want to offer students a wide range of learning experiences, and we need passionate volunteers like you to make it happen! Here are some exciting session ideas:
- Yoga & Meditation – Teach relaxation techniques and mindfulness.
- Medical practitioners– Share knowledge on healthcare, hygiene, and overall well-being.
- Dentist – Explain the importance of oral health and good habits.

- Other Options – Have an idea not listed here? We'd love to hear it! Whether it’s a unique hobby, an engaging life skill, or an approach to wellness, your contribution could make a real impact.
Be Part of the Experience
We are still finalizing the session agenda, but we invite you to express your interest in leading three repeated 45-minute sessions.
Your participation matters, and together, we can create an unforgettable and inspiring day for our students!
