On Saturday morning, members of the Trillium Woods Running Club participated in the Angus Glen Charity Run in support of the Markham Stouffville Hospital's Stollery Family Centre for Childcare & Childbirth. Staff, students, and parents have been training after school for this run since September. It was great to see so many families running and cheering. The team did Trillium Woods proud! Congratulations to all team members, and congratulations to Luxsmy, Connor, Mrs. McLeod, Ms. Bird, and Ms. Walsh for their prize qualifying times. A special thanks to Mrs. McPhail, Ms. Frohlinger, Mr. Tranter, Ms. Coleman, Mr. Hildebrandt, and Ms. Cosens for their time and efforts in organizing our fall running club and encouraging participation in this event to promote healthy active lifestyles, and support community outreach.
Go Tornadoes!

Trillium Woods is a Nut Safe School
Parents and students are reminded that Trillium Woods is a nut-safe school. Many of our students have a life threatening allergy to products containing nuts. After Hallowe'en, we often see an increase in the numbers of items brought in snacks and lunches that are unsafe for students with life threatening allergies. Please check the label on the products your child is bringing and take the opportunity to remind your child not to share food at school.
