Driving and Parking We once again remind parents not to park in front of the school on the west side of Gilmore Avenue. If you park directly across from the school on the east side of Gilmore, DO NOT ALLOW your child to walk or
run across the road from the school directly to your vehicle. Children MUST learn to safely use the patrolled crosswalk. Also, please do not drive into the staff parking lot (entrance on Gilmore) to drop off or pick up students. This lot is for staff parking only. The lower lot
(entrance on MacDonald) is available for student pick up and drop off.

Carousel Theatre for Young People
Presents Dot & Ziggy June 2-14
For newborns to age 3 and their caregivers
June 2-14
This gentle, interactive play is a wonderful introduction to theatre for very young audiences. Dot &
Ziggy may be neighbors, but they aren’t yet friends. After all, what could a ladybug and a skunk
possibly have in common? One likes up, one likes down. One flies, one runs. But neither of them
knows how to share. With the help of a wise spider, and the encouragement of the audience, they
just might find their way.
Themes: Friendship, Sharing, Opposites, Animals, Creative Play, Puppetry. Show is 40 minutes,
including a sensory tour after the performance. For more information visit www.carouseltheatre.ca
