Principal / Vice Principal’s Message

Our new PAC has been working hard to organize our upcoming hot dog day on Monday!  They have been processing orders, counting money, prepackaging meals and will be cooking and preparing hot dogs on Monday morning.  Parent helpers are welcome.

Please continue to support our school and order your Mabel’s Labels here.

Terry Fox Donations

Georges Vanier made a donation of $696.00 to the BC Cancer Society.  Thanks for supporting cancer research and carrying on Terry’s message of hope.

Diwali Planning 

We are looking forward to our upcoming Diwali celebrations on Friday, Oct. 28th.   GV staff are working with students who will lead and present at our Diwali assembly at 9:00 a.m.  Please contact the office if you have any connection to special Diwali presenters – ie. dhol drummers, bhangra dancers, etc. 

Walk & Roll to School Week – Oct. 17 – 21

Walk & Roll to School Week is part of Surrey’s Safe and Active Schools Program.   Walking and biking to school is a healthy, safe and environmentally friendly way to start and end your day.  Please help us to reduce traffic congestion and improve student safety at GV.
