School community reaches out
In his recent monthly newsletter, Principal Andrew Nordman congratulated the entire Dunlop school community in their recent support of the Haitian people. The school raised in excess of $250 for World Vision in their ongoing relief efforts for the earthquake tragedy in Haiti.  Dunlop has also raised funds to buy school supplies for children in Malawi and Haiti.

"Thank you to our school community for providing for those in need,"  Mr. Nordman said. "I am proud of the way our school reaches out to others.  It truly embodies our Character trait this month – cooperation."

Ottawa 67s Adopt-a-School Program
67Dunlop PS has been chosen by the Ottawa 67s Hockey Club to participate in its Adopt-a-School program.  We have received season tickets to all home games and will be giving them away in our many reward programs here at the school.  We will be acknowledging students who have academic success, who demonstrate the qualities in our Community of Character program, or involve them to enrich the Dunlop community.

Congratulations to the students who won tickets for the month of September.  We are currently looking at Responsibility in our Community of Character program and will be looking for students who are demonstrating this trait.

We would like to recognize our community sponsor:  Ottawa Region Media.  Without their generosity, we would not have our tickets.
