Thank you, Olga Fowell Chairperson - NT Music Parents Council >From the North Toronto Athletics Committee! Whether on the field, on the ice, in the pool, around the track, on the court or on the ski hill, NT has enjoyed success for many years. However, additional resources are required to further that tradition. Formed three years ago to "Connect the past with the present and build towards the future", the North Toronto Athletics Committee (NTAC) was formed as both a friend and fundraising initiative, to continue the success story that is athletics at NT. We are a mixture of NT alumni, staff and parents! Over the past two years, we've generated over $10,000 and have been able to help the athletics department with the purchase of equipment for the weight room, uniforms for teams and helped cover fees for tournaments. Success so far, BUT...We want to do more. We are looking for more parents of current NT students to help with our committee and events. Our next meeting will be held on November 25th @ 6:30p.m. at NTCI Room 215 and we invite you to support all athletes at NTCI and the legacy that they will leave behind. Please join us on November 25th or contact Michael Colley at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> to find out how you may become Part of the Action! Thank you Michael Colley & Kirsten Sixt >From the Guidance department! Our student e-blast system is under repair.

Please encourage your children to be vigilant as we are aware of a recent series of street robberies within a one-km. radius of Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue. These incidents are mostly swarming-type robberies involving teenagers where a group of people approach the victims and demand personal property including cell phones, clothing and money. Toronto Police Services is requesting that the public be vigilant in the area. Police are also requesting anyone who is a victim or witness to this type of incident to contact police. Students should not engage or retaliate in these situations. Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-5300, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477), online at www.222tips.com<http://www.222tips.com>, or text TOR and your message to CRIMES (274637). Please find below a link to the TDSB Streetproofing Tips sheet for parents to share with their children. This tip sheet was distributed in hard copy earlier this year to all North Toronto students. http://tdsbweb.tdsb.on.ca/webdocuments/principals_site/docs/streetproofing%20tips_secondary.pdf William Mack Principal North Toronto Collegiate Institute _______________________________________________ Please do not reply to this e-mail.
