STUDENT LIFE AND BELONGING
BEVERLEY SCHOOL SAYS
THANK YOU!
The students and staff at The Beverley School created a beautiful card and presented it to a group of our Grade 10 volunteers at last week’s visit. They are extremely grateful for the weekly support and donations that The York School community has given this year. In particular, our gifts have made their play space more accessible and supported student learning and self-regulation in the classroom.
Thank you to all our families who supported our winter fundraising campaign!
From the Class of 2027 - Will A, Hailey W, Maya S, Penn S and Madi S alongside Beverley’s Principal - Danjela Malobabic
