Bike to School Week is Monday, June 3 to Friday, June 7! This event is open to all WCDSB and WRDSB schools and is brought to you through a partnership between Student Transportation Services of Waterloo Region; the cities of Cambridge, Kitchener and Waterloo; and the Region of Waterloo.

Cycling to and from school is a great way for students to incorporate a healthy and fun activity into their day, while emphasizing the important environmental impact and potential for community building that biking can have. By participating in Bike to School Week, STSWR is asking schools to celebrate students who bike to school and encourage other students to try cycling.

On Wednesday, June 5th we will have our “Bike Count” day and see how many bikes we have in our bike rack! Our school has a chance to win great prizes based off of how much participation we have.

Students can register individually for a chance to win one of 10 active transportation prize packages or one of fifty $15 Dairy Queen gift certificates. Prizes are supplied by the cities of Cambridge, Kitchener and Waterloo, and the Region of Waterloo.

Please see the link below to register today!

Dear Thunderbird Families, 

I am writing to inform you that this afternoon there was a minor incident in the staff room kitchen in which the oven began to smoke, setting off our fire alarms. Fortunately, it was at the end of recess when most students were already outside, everyone else evacuated quickly, and the school building received no damage. The situation was swiftly handled by our local fire department. 

Ensuring the safety and well-being of our students is always our top priority. We want to assure you that all necessary emergency protocols were followed diligently, and our staff and students handled the situation with efficiency. We regularly conduct drills to prepare for emergencies such as this one, and our staff are well-trained to handle various situations, as was evident today.

We understand that incidents like these can be alarming for parents, but please rest assured that your children’s safety is of the highest importance to us. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you!

St. Daniel School Staff
