R.G. Sinclair P.S.

The school recently received a donation of $2,000.00 from the Kinsmen Super TV Bingo. These funds will go toward supporting students through our school Food Sharing Program. Kinsmen Super TV Bingo runs every Saturday night at 7:00 p.m. from October to April. When you tune in and play, funds raised go back to the community.

Shrek Jr. will be performed on May 1st and 2nd at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are now available on School Day. Make sure to get your tickets soon. They are going fast!

A reminder that children must stay home for 48 hours after vomiting or experiencing diarrhea. These are rules dictated by KFL& A Public Health. Students should not return to school for two days after symptoms stop.

Last week, students pitched in and cleaned up our school yard and neighbourhood parks. This is a great way to care for our environment. Well done, Stingers!

Come join us for a night of dancing, food, fun, and western vibes at the Italo-Canadian Club of Kingston in support of The Food Sharing Project. Dust off your boots, put on your best cowboy hat, and get ready to kick up your heels on the dance floor.

Once you've parked your car (or hitched your horse), wander in to the beautiful Italo-Canadian Club, and pick up a beverage to enjoy as you take a gander at the dozens of silent auction items donated by school communities and local businesses, and make yer bids.

When you get a hankerin' for a bite to eat, visit the Western-themed food stations that will open throughout the night, lovingly prepared by Chef Chris Couto - who will be carving the brisket. (Check out the mouth-waterin' menu in the FAQ section below). If you need to wet your whistle, the licensed cash bar will be open for you to enjoy.

Mix and mingle, or have a seat and enjoy good company. But you won't stay down for long, because the line dancing is about to begin. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a beginner two-stepper, you'll be sure to have some fun. Why not give it a whirl!

When you need a break, don't forget to go back to the silent auction tables, in case some scoundrel is trying to outbid you.

After you've caught your breath, had some vittles and a drink (or two), it's time for Steve Cheesman and the Heeters to take the stage, and time to hit the dance floor.

Oh yeah...don't forget about them silent auction tables. Bid often, bid high! It all goes to a good cause.

So grab your friends, grab your partner, and get ready for a boot-scootin' good time!

(Note: This is an adults only 18+ event)

Please ensure you use the entrance to the parking lot when you arrive at school and that you leave by the exit. Also a reminder that the parking lot is closed to cars (except for staff vehicles from 8:30-9:30 a.m. and 3:00 - 4:00 p.m.). Please do not park in the parking lot between 8:30 and 9:30 as staff need to be able to park their cars and we do not have a lot of parking spots. If your child walks to school, please remind them to use the walkways rather than crossing through the parking lot. Thank you for your help in ensuring students' safety.

We have noticed at dismissal time that some students are running through the garden in front of the school. Once dismissed, students should go to their parent and not run around in the garden. Thanks for helping us keep our gardens looking great!
