At Bruce, We Love To Read A Good Book!


Dear Graham Bruce Families,

December is always an exciting time for our students! We are so grateful to live and work in a supportive community. As the winter holidays approach, it is the perfect time to teach our children about being helpful, grateful, generous and kind. We are blessed by a very culturally diverse community, which enriches the experiences of our students and families. Let's continue to remind our children of this privilege and the importance of being respectful of each other.


Winter Concert @Bruce

We are excited to remind you of the date for our Winter Concert that will take place in the school gymnasium on Thursday, December 14th 1:15-2:30pm. Please join us to celebrate our students through songs and music! This is also a reminder that the maximum capacity of our gymnasium is 270 under the Fire Services Act. We appreciate to only have one family member of each child attending this concert, as we would have to close the doors once the maximum capacity is reached. Thank you for your understanding.
