DONATION
A big thank you to Noel Motors who provided ‘free bussing’ to all the choirs who performed in this year’s Kiwanis Music Festival!
FITNESS FUN
Spring is in the air! We at Davis are encouraging families to get out and get active together. Start with 15 minutes a day - go for a walk, rake your leaves, ride a bike, play tag in your yard. A family that plays together will be healthy together.
RECYCLING DRIVE
At this time we still await word from the Multi-Materials Stewardship Board (MMSB) on the results of our Recycling Challenge in March.
Keep your fingers crossed!
TCP HEALTH FOUNDATION
As you know every year we collect pennies for the TCP Health Foundation Telethon. This will change next year with the discontinuation of the penny. Anyone who has pennies at home and would like to send them along now to be rolled, we will bring them to the bank now and add them to the donation for the Telethon in the fall.
