Week at a Glance- Jan. 15 to Jan. 19
Hello Storrington Stingers,
We hope that all our Stingers had a great weekend.
Please see the information below in this week’s Week at a Glance.
Staffing News
It is with mixed emotions that I write to let you know that as of Friday, February 2, I will be commencing on a planned, self-funded leave for the remainder of the 2023-2024 school year. Unfortunately, this means that I will not be returning to Storrington in September.
Please join me in welcoming Ms. Amie Domingo as the new Principal at Storrington. Ms. Domingo comes to Storrington from Joyceville Public School and Glenburnie Public School, where she is the current Vice-Principal. Over the next couple weeks, Ms. Domingo will visit Storrington, as we prepare for her transition. I know that Ms. Domingo will do an amazing job as Principal at Storrington!
It truly has been my privilege to work and learn at Storrington Public School. I have really appreciated all the support from the staff, students and parent community. I am very grateful to call myself a Stinger and to have been part of the Storrington hive.
Storrington Accessories and Apparel Store
Storrington Public School now has an online clothing store where families can purchase Stinger accessories and apparel. The online store remains open all year round. To access the online clothing store, please visit: https://specialtytrophies.ca/storringtonps/
Mabel’s Labels
A reminder to our Stinger families that we have a Mabel’s Labels fundraiser account for any families who are interested in purchasing labels. If you are interested in purchasing labels, go to: campaigns.mabelslabels.com and type Storrington Public School (Battersea) in the Search for the Name of Organization. All proceeds from the label purchases will go to purchasing outdoor equipment.
