Fundraising this year

posted Nov 8, 2018, 8:48 AM by John Paul II School

This 2018-2019 year the School Council will have five different fundraising options for families to consider participating in, including
  • Sam and Mike Toy Sale (November)
  • Themed Raffle Baskets (November and June)
  • Little Caesar's frozen pizza kits (December and May)
  • FundScrip (ongoing throughout the year)
  • Mabel's Labels (ongoing throughout the year)
As always, there is no obligation to participate but having a greater variety of options benefits our children, because all money raised goes back to support the students and school.

Intro to Self-Regulation with Dr Stuart Shanker

posted Oct 15, 2016, 9:06 AM by Margarita Ziroldo


Why are children and youth so overstressed today?  What is the nature of hidden stressors and the distinction between misbehaviour and stress behaviour?  Dr. Shanker will explain the 5 steps of self-regulation, not just in a way for parents to apply these with their children, but also for themselves.
