On November 12 at 1:00p.m. at Bishops Gardens, 190 Pennywell Road we will have our official Bus Launch and Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony. We are inviting friends, family, funders, elected officials, and you and yours to join in on the fun! Immediately following a short ceremony we will begin our Creative Communities Program! So much to do and lots of laughs to be had!

Our Creative Communities Program is finally hitting the road THIS October. We have 4 out of 8 community locations confirmed. Please stay tuned for all 8 locations! This will be an inclusive, all ages event from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. taking place on our accessible Old School Bus! Come and join the fun with your community!

We have open up registration for another round of Music Together Generations at Cambridge Estates! We love the connections made with the residents there and hope you and your little will join us on Wednesdays this fall at 10:30 a.m. :)

... we would like to thank everyone who supported us throughout the year. From every social media post, to donation, to volunteering, to attending our programs. Every single action counts towards making Old School a step closer to fulfilling our goals. Keep an eye out for more information in 2023 about Music Together Generations, Pen Pals, New Horizons, The Old School Bus and Youth Programs.

It has been a long time coming but we honestly couldn't be happier with the outside of the bus, our friends at City Wide and at Signs First did an amazing job! Now to the hard stuff... inside the bus... and we need help! Reach out if you'd like to help us out. It's going to be so lovely once it's all complete.

Registration is now live for ONE Generations Class for families with children aged 0-5 and the addition of new grandfriends. These classes are truly beloved and fabulously designed to instill the love of music in your child from a young age.

If you are a home interested in having a Generations class at your home in the future, please contact us!

Last week we started performances of our musical, sensory, theatre experience! We have shared it with the workshop participants who gave us stories and sense memories to create this piece. We are currently taking bookings from seniors residences, long-term care homes, community centres, and schools who would like to participate. We also have two by donation performances coming up on JULY 23 at Foran/Greene Room at St. John's, City Hall.

On Tuesday, May 31 at 9:30 a.m. Erin and Claire will be presenting for Seniors NL to share more about Old School, the benefits of programming and plans for the future.

We are excited and honoured to share that Old School is now a registered charity through CRA. We have lots to learn but we are excited for the doors this may open for us to fulfill our mission! We are beyond grateful for the support - shout out to Amanda Mews at NTV who featured our news in Our Community last night on NTV.

Calling all singers! Telephone Tunes is back again and this time we are going to be spreading holiday cheer! Please email oldschoolipnl@gmail.com if you are interested in participating. We will connect you with an older adult who might want a little tune to brighten their day! We look forward to growing our Telephone Tunes community!
