Roméo Dallaire P.S. School Council Newsletter
Message from our School Council Chairs It is with a heavy heart that we share the sad news about the passing of Shirley Haber, School Council Chair, volunteer and mother of 4 children. Shirley was instrumental in supporting our school on various committees and she was an outstanding School Council Chair who leaves behind a legacy of amazing contributions to our school. Shirley ran our Pizza Lunch program as well as volunteered on the School Opening Committee, Fundraising Committee, Graduation Committee and was the Co- Chair of our School Council for the past 2 years.
Throughout our school, we
can see the many valuable
contributions she left behind
as a result of her unwavering
commitment to our school
community. Please keep her
family in your thoughts and
prayers during these very
challenging times.
