Yesterday was the start of two significant times for different members of our Kings’ Family:
Happy Baisakhi to our Sikh and Punjabi students and their families as you celebrate the Punjab harvest festival and the start of the Sikh new year.
Peaceful Ramadan/Ramadan Kareem to our Muslim students and their families at the beginning of your month of fasting, praying, family time, and charity.
May everyone have a safe and joyous time as we all go through these difficult times together.
Peel Public Health just announced that all schools in Peel, including private schools, are physically closed for at least the next two weeks.
Miss Xuereb will be at the school tomorrow morning from 7:45 AM to 9:30 AM in case your child needs to pick up any books or other items that were left at school over the long weekend. After that, we will be closed physically for at least the next two weeks, and all classes will be online!
Congratulations to one of our grade 12’s, Neha, on her acceptance to Queen’s for engineering! We are so proud of you! 💙
Congratulations to two of our senior students, Chase & Scott, on getting accepted into the SHAD Canada program! Shad Canada is a STEAM and entrepreneurship program that accepts students with high aptitudes for risk taking, curiosity, excellence and resilience, and prepares them to take on social and economic challenges. We are so excited for you! 
Congratulations to one of our Grade 12 students, Emily! 
Emily has been accepted to Animal Biology at the University of Guelph with an entrance scholarship. This is the program that Emily wanted most, as it put her on the path to her dream job of becoming a vet. Way to go, Emily! 
Here comes ✨ 2021 ✨
We want to take the time to wish all our friends and family a safe, healthy, and MAGNIFICENT new year!
Although we’ve had to scale back our usual Hallowe’en celebrations due to COVID-19, at least at King’s we are still celebrating! It is a dress-down day tomorrow, and you may wear a costume or black and orange – or, of course, your uniform if you prefer. Fifth period there will be treats and games – Happy Hallowe’en!
Whether you are at home or in the building, King’s students all across Canada started their classes today. Here’s a look at the start of the day and some of our classrooms enjoying the new experience.
Just because we are currently physically distancing at King’s doesn’t mean that we are socially distancing. This week during our virtual Classes at Home is Spirit Week! Earn points to support your House by wearing pink on Monday, green on Tuesday, blue on Wednesday, yellow on Thursday, and red on Friday. You’ll earn one point for each period that you are wearing that day’s colour. Fun and creative clothing encouraged! Looking forward to seeing you on Zoom!
Monday: Mrs. Robinson says April showers bring May Flowers Day! Today anything with a flowery, Hawaiian, palm trees, spring flowers kind of feel to it.

Wednesday: We’re halfway through the week, so it’s time for Mr. Mitchner’s “Don’t poke the Bear Day”! Please have a stuffed animal present for the day, it does not have to be a bear.

Friday: Mr. Dawson’s Hat Day – Wear any hat (baseball, cowboy, sombrero, visor, toque, etc)
While physically distancing, our teachers are working hard to encourage all our students to maintain strong social connections. Here’s what one of our great teachers is doing: “Welcome to our baking class/club! The first recipe I will post is an easy scone recipe! Scones are a tasty pastry that I love to make for breakfast. 🙂
Please post your attempts (either successes or ‘complete nailed it’ failures)! You will find all recipes posted in the content library!” As you can see below, there were some great scones made throughout the King’s community last weekend – some strawberry, some blueberry. Feel the love!
“The next recipe I will post is an easy cookie recipe! St. Louis is famous for something called a butter cake. When I am feeling nostalgic and have a lot of time, I make it. However, when I am feeling super lazy and homesick, I make these cookies which require way less effort and provide just as much ‘get-in-my-belly’ joy. These cookies have become a favorite for all our friends and they are requested at every party. Please post your attempts (either successes or complete nailed it failures)! You will find all recipes posted in the content library!” — Ms. Speranzi

A Ray of Hope in this Pandemic: Today is Freedom 75 Day, commemorating the liberation of the Netherlands by our Canadian soldiers in 1944 and 1945 during the Second World War. Last fall, the Kingdom of the Netherlands kindly sent King’s College School 75 Liberation tulips – specially-bred, beautiful, bright orange tulips – to help our students learn about this important event in the history of our two countries. We planted those tulips last fall just as the snows were starting, and now, on May the 5th, the bulbs are just starting to bloom – a ray of hope indeed.
Despite the snow over the last few days, the Freedom 75 tulip bulbs are flourishing and flowering – such a lovely sign of renewal and hope.
