Sam Swag friendly reminder

A few weeks ago you received an email letting you know which of our Familles de Sam your child is in.

Each Famille de Sam has been designated a specific colour, and all siblings in a family/home grouping belong to the same Famille de Sam.

We’re sending this message as a reminder that our online store closes on Friday, November 17th, 2023. If you are interested in purchasing Sam clothing in your child’s Famille de Sam colour, you are welcome to do so before that time.

Please note that at this time, this is not a fundraiser and the purchase Sam clothing is not necessary.

Once placed, orders may take up to 4-6 weeks to arrive at the school. 

It will be labelled with your child’s/your name and we will send it home once we receive it.

Please ensure to label it with your child’s name once it gets home.

Merci and bonne journée!
