The weather definitely tested our commitment with a classic rainy Vancouver morning. Luckily, the team brought plenty of energy and enthusiasm, so spirits stayed high. Our team, Tennyson Tigers and Friends, has raised an amazing $1,655 so far for BC Children’s Hospital. Thank you to everyone who donated, cheered us on, or helped spread the word. It truly makes a difference. We’re getting very close to our $2,000 goal, so if anyone would still like to contribute, donations can still be made here: Donate to the Team. Finally, consider joining us next year! Despite the weather, we had a lot of fun. The race is usually held on the first Sunday of June, so mark your calendars and join us for this wonderful community event supporting a great cause. Go Tennyson Tigers and Friends!
We have a new code available that provides a $20 discount for a full camp week at our Vancouver West Side Camp.
Each time the code is used, this would give the registering family a $20 discount for a full camp week and your PAC a $20 donation at the end of the summer for each week registered. If 100 families sign up for one week, that would be a $2,000 donation to your PAC and $2,000 in savings to families. In late September, we would send the total earned for your school via e-transfer. Code: PAC20 The code can be used more than once by each family to register campers for multiple weeks and for multiple siblings. The code is valid for our 5-day camp weeks (Monday-Friday) as well as our 4-day camp weeks (June 29-July 3 and August 4-7). The code cannot be applied to individual dates scattered over multiple weeks. The camper must be from your school and register for the Vancouver West Side Camp in order for the code to be applied toward the discount for the camper’s registration and the donation to your PAC. There is a spot on our registration form where families can write the name of the school their child attends. When registering, families can include the code in the applicable section on their registration form, which is available on our website. Our non-profit camps prioritize active, outdoor play and nature-immersion. We are participant-centred, following the unique interests and curiosity of every camper to spark self-discovery. We strive to cultivate a community built on kindness, respect, empathy, and connection. Our child-centred, play-based camps have been running for seven years in the lower mainland. Our out-trips include beaches, pools, parks, playgrounds, and more. Our mission is to empower and inspire kids and create community. We go on different out-trips each day, and we meet and have pick-up near the out-trip of the day. More information on our Vancouver West Side Camp can be found here: https://www.rfcamps.com/Vancouver-West-Side-Camp/ Many bright, capable children struggle with reading and spelling despite working hard. Families are told to “practice more,” but not: what to practice, how to practice or why some approaches help more than others. Ripple Tree Learning helps families move beyond confusion and trial-and-error with clearer direction, practical tools, and more confident ways to support literacy development.  On June 17, we're hosting a Staff Appreciation Lunch to celebrate the incredible teachers, support staff and team members who make Tennyson such a special place for our children to learn and grow. This event is our opportunity to thank them for their hard work, dedication and care throughout the year. To help make the day extra special, we are looking for donations of food, flowers, snacks, and drinks, as well as volunteers to assist with receiving donations, setup and cleanup. Whether you can contribute a homemade dish, store bought food, a restaurant meal delivery, a bouquet of flowers, refreshments, or a little of your time, every contribution is greatly appreciated. Together, we can create a warm and memorable celebration to show our gratitude for everything our staff does for our school community. Thank you for helping us make this Staff Appreciation Lunch an unforgettable day!  École Lord Tennyson is celebrating Bike to School Week from June 1st - 5th! We’re encouraging students and families to use active transportation for their trips to school all week - walking, biking, scootering, skateboarding, and using mobility aids all help reduce emissions and help students arrive at school energized and ready to learn. There will be daily prizes and a final draw on Friday. Also, the class with the most participation will get a freezie party!! If your child is coming by bike or scooter, please bring a lock. The bike racks fill up quickly so you can lock your bike to the fences around the school. Tables will be set-up in the courtyard from 8:40am - 9:00am every day with snacks, sign-in, and prize draw tickets. We will need volunteers each day to help prepare the snacks, set-up, and help with sign-in. The total time required is 8:30-9:15. Find the link for volunteer sign-up and the school's weekly newsletter (the WAAG).  Many of you will recognize HUB Cycling from their visits to our school, where they provide the expert bike safety training our students use every day. We are happy to share that they are bringing that same trusted instruction to their Everyone Rides: Kids Bike Camps this summer!
