School Culture
Playground |
|
We have a fantastic playground at Warsaw with 3 distinct zones. Zone 1 includes the paved areas and all of the play structures. On the paved areas there are 2 basketball courts and space for 2 mini sticks games. Zone 2 is the large upper field that hosts 1 soccer field and two baseball diamonds. Zone 3 is the large lower field that houses 2 more baseball diamonds plus a rough, forested area which is perfect for building forts and engaging in imaginative play. In this zone we have many loose parts such as poles, stumps and rocks that the children can build with. |
Student Athletic Teams |
|
We offer as many sports opportunities for students as possible. Having a small number of students ensures that those who want to play, get to play. We invite interested parents and community members to come and volunteer as coaches, assistant coaches and / or helpers. Here's a list of sports teams that we've sent to tournaments this year:

Nutrition Program |
|
We have a fabulous Nutrition Program, thanks to parent extraordinaire, Jen Tighe, and the other parent and community volunteers who work with her. Each morning a selection of nutritious foods are delivered to classrooms just prior to the entry bell. We follow the guidelines laid out in the Food for Kids program that is run through Peterborough Public Health. Each day we must choose two of the following to be included: a grain, dairy, protein and fruit or vegetable. A weekly menu might look like this:
Our fabulous volunteers also organize many special meals and snacks, such as our pancake breakfast (pictured to the left), grilled cheese, smoothie day, and BBQs for various events. |
