Hello DLG Families,

Happy Holidays!

December has arrived, and with it comes a season of traditions and celebrations. At David Lloyd George, we are proud to have a diverse community where families honor many different customs. Winter is a time for gathering indoors, sharing stories and food, and celebrating traditions passed down through generations.

Here are some important dates to keep in mind:

• October 20 – Diwali
• December 8 – Bodhi Day
• December 14–22 – Hanukkah
• December 21 – Winter Solstice
• December 25 – Christmas
• December 26–January 1 – Kwanzaa
• January 3 – Mahayana New Year
• January 7–8 – Eastern Orthodox Christmas

For a full list of cultural and religious observances, please see the Vancouver School Board calendar attached to this newsletter.

Grounds Clean-Up

This week, Division 4 will be helping with school grounds clean-up. We appreciate their efforts in keeping our school looking its best!

Volleyball

Our Junior Girls Volleyball Team will play home games this Tuesday. If you can, come cheer them on! A big thank you to all staff and parent volunteers who make this sport possible for our students.

Traffic & Safety Reminder

As the weather gets colder and darker, we expect more cars around the school and fewer students walking or biking. Please remind your children to be extra cautious when crossing streets. A few extra seconds to look both ways can save lives.

Deconstruction Update

The deconstruction of the old school building is progressing well. Please see the attached letter for details.
