Jays Day is almost here!

Saturday June 11 is fast approaching which means we are gearing up for a fun day cheering on the Blue Jays!

Staff from the Blue Jays have just finished allocating our 335 tickets and will be sending them to the school late this week/early next week. Once we receive the tickets, we will be sending them home to the families that pre-ordered in an envelope in your child's backpack - so please keep an eye out Tuesday or Wednesday next week.

A number of additional people have said they would like to attend - which is great! Unfortunately, all the available tickets have already been ordered and paid for. That said, if you purchased tickets and can no longer attend, please email Charlene (charlene.cressman@gmail.com) as she is starting a "waiting" list of those looking for tickets and will put buyers and sellers in touch with each other.


If you have any questions - please get in touch with either Charlene Cressman (charlene.cressman@gmail.com) or Principal Lee (nicole.lee@tdsb.on.ca)

Let's Go Blue Jays! Saturday June 11 - Save the Date!

We know McMurrich families love the Blue Jays - so what better way to spend a Saturday afternoon then hanging out with our amazing McMurrich Community and cheering on the Toronto Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre?

Parent Council has secured a block of tickets at reduced rates for the Saturday June 11 Blue Jays vs. Orioles game.  The game starts at 1:00 pm.  Not only will we get to watch the Blue Jays defeat the Orioles, but every Saturday there are fun things to do for the kids as part of the Junior Jays Program. Arrive early and take advantage of the activities before you enter, plus kids can visit the Jr. Jays zones in the stadium to take part in many fun activities that will keep them entertained through to the eighth inning! On top of that kids 14 and under can run the bases just like the pros after the game.

Forms need to be returned by this Friday 29 April. PLEASE NOTE:  There is a typo on the form that went home on Thursday; the kids tickets are $15.00 each, not $15.50.

If you have any questions, please contact Charlene Cressman: charlene.cressman@gmail.com or Principal Lee.
