The "WE" in W.E. Gowling

As we near the final hours of our Adopt a School Campaign (polls close 11:59pm)... 

https://adoptaschool.indigo.ca/eng/schools/1199

Let's reflect on the lessons we have learned from this experience:

W.E.  saw and felt, true community support.

W.E. were shocked and amazed at HOW MUCH support there was!

W.E. strengthened partnerships and established new ones.

W.E. showed Ontario what W.E. Gowling is made of (5th place among nearly 300 schools!?).

W.E. highlighted library resources and literacy - during a time of "political landscaping".

W.E. worked together to provide for our children, grandchildren and future children.

W.E. put the "WE" back into W.E. Gowling!

It truly takes a village to raise a child... and we thank you, W.E. Gowling Village!

POTSHOTZZ Vendor Review - 35 Days Until the W.E. Gowling Public School Holiday Craft Show

35 days. Yes, that's right 35 days until you can pick up one of Pot Shotzz's item and cross yet another gift off your list.
Check them out on November 14th at W.E. Gowling Public School's fundraiser craft show.  

POTSHOTZZ
Daisy is friendly. Some might say, innocent with a pinch of naughty. Daisy appears on greeting cards, coffee mugs and t-shirts with simple, yet, direct messages. And yes, Daisy aims to be funny, too.

Hereness & Thereness will be there...here: 36 Days until the Gowling Christmas & Holiday Craft Show

Hereness & Thereness is one of the great vendors you'll find at the Gowling Christmas & Holiday Craft Show on November 14th (W.E. Gowling P.S. - 250 Anna Ave, Ottawa).  I bet there's a little one on your gift list that would love one of the adorable toys she has to offer.  Adorable!

Hereness & Thereness

Using fabrics printed with my own illustrations, I make wee fabric houses, hand puppets (also available as DIY kits!), finger puppets, Gnome stuffies, and more! I also make one-of-a-kind houses from upcycled fabrics for a more tactile experience. I hope that my toys inspire children’s imaginative play.

36 Days Left : Gowling Christmas Craft Show - Knitting Mima

With only 36 days to prepare for the Gowling Christmas & Holiday Craft Show...Knitting Mima is busily preparing her knit wares to share with you at the show.  Check them out and pick up some warm knits for the winter!

Knitting Mima

Knitted hats and mitts. What a great way to stay warm while showing off your team or school colours. The hats have a double band for extra warmth and the"newfie" mitts and very warm also. They are available in toddler, child and teen/adult sizes.
