Hi everyone,

We would appreciate your help with the following donations. We need girls and boys clothes in the following sizes:

Girl:
Size 2T clothes
Shoes size 6

Boy:
Size 6T clothes
Shoes size 12-13

Thank you so much for your continued support.

The preschool children had an amazing July! Lots of learning and fun experiences.

One of the arms on our yellow muskoka chairs is broken. Anyone think they may be able to fix it? Feel free to pop over and have a look. It is a fabricated wood product so would require a drill to add a supporting piece I think and some gorilla glue maybe? We already replaced the full set last fall when they were stolen so replacement is not in the budget. Thanks!!

Thank you to the Bianchi & Sinaguglia family for your generous donation of school supplies to support families in the community.

Learning from the best! The Oakville Fire Department showed us what it takes to be a hero during our superhero week here at OPNC! @ Oakville Fire
