Reminder that the bus loop is for buses only. If you are dropping your child off, please use the parent drop off lane in front of the school. We have a second run bus which comes in between 8:10 – 8:20 depending on traffic. We are asking for your cooperation on this to ensure the safety of all children.

We have exciting news! Fred Fox, Terry Fox’s brother, is coming to West Royalty on Oct 2^nd.

Our school is very fortunate to have this amazing opportunity to hear about the positive effects of the Marathon of Hope. As a school, we are trying to do our part to keep Terry’s dream alive and help fund raise for the cure.

This year as an incentive for the students, we will be offering rewards for money raised as a whole school. If we raise;

$1000- The Students will earn an extra 15 minute recess. ($2 per student)

$1500- The students will earn an extra 25 minute recess and our principal, vice principal and Phys. Ed teachers will dye their hair Pink for a day

$2000- The students will earn an extra 25 minute recess and our specialist will dye their hair pink for the day. ($4 per student)

$2500- The students will earn an extra 25 minute recess and our entire staff will dye their hair a neon color for the day. ($5 per student)

Let’s go West Royalty Elementary School community. Let’s do our part by showing how much our school community cares. The total amount of money must be raised by September 27^th.
