Selkirk Parent Group (SPG) Update – June 2025

Thank you! Salamat po! Xièxiè! Dyakuyu! Hych’ka!

We are sincerely grateful for the many ways you’ve helped the school community throughout the year. You’ve brought fresh ideas, curiosity, laughter, a love of learning and a wealth of diverse skills. You’ve demonstrated first-hand to your families that together, we can make a difference. Thank you for building strong networks and for spreading kindness – your involvement is what makes us the exceptional community we are!

Fresh Air and Fun

Looking for a way to help out and maybe enjoy a little fresh air at the same time? Look no further! We’d love your help at the year-end Freezies on the Green or at the start-of-year Back-to-School BBQ – or at both events. These are easy ways to lend a hand, and allow for a lot of socializing. We’re also looking for Hot Lunch Helpers for next year. 

  • June 20, at Freezies on the Green: what could be better than putting a freezie in the hand – and a smile on the face – of a child. Or, actually, hundreds of children.
  • Late August and early September, at the Back-to-School BBQ: we can always use more helping hands to help setting up, grilling/prepping food, serving during the event and cleaning up/taking down afterwards
  • Starting September: Hot Lunch Helpers – much of this work can be done outside of school hours and from home; there are many different ways to help out

Signing up doesn’t mean going it alone! We’re a friendly bunch and provide guidance and support for these roles. We’d love for you to be involved. For more information, reach out to: spg@selkirkmontessori.ca.
