The SMLS Parent Association is as active as ever and continues to contribute to the overall well-being of SMLS by promoting good fellowship among all those associated with the school and by providing financial support for the school through various fundraising activities.

The SMLS Parent Association has made some significant contributions to our school recently. This past Fall, a new lectern arrived that is now front and centre at many of our Chapels and Special Events. This top-of-the-line podium is equipped with the latest in audio-visual technology and means we are able to better connect for virtual and in-person events across the School.

Students are also enjoying new outdoor seating areas throughout the school grounds. In true SMLS community spirit, these new seating areas are providing excellent gathering spaces for students, staff and faculty to enjoy our beautiful campus. In the time ahead, as we anticipate also using these spaces being used for outdoor learning and student work, we will also be adding three new access points for enhanced outdoor Wifi capability.

Families enjoyed a wonderful BBQ, treats, an outdoor movie and a chance to connect during the Fall Family Movie Night & BBQ..

School Chaplain, Ms. Green, hosts one of our many Chapels from the comfort of the new state-of-the-art lectern provided by the SMLS Parent Association.

The SMLS Parent Association’s annual Used Uniform Sale is always a huge success. Huge thanks go out to all of our outstanding SMLS Parent Association volunteers for everything they do for our school community.

THE Millie FUND

SMLS Annual Giving Campaign

Empowered Youby

In 1891, compensation and employment opportunities for men and women were drastically unequal, women were not yet considered ‘persons’ under the legal definition of the law, and women’s right to vote was still almost thirty years ahead. This was the year that St. Mildred’s College was founded. 131 years later, SMLS is still a pioneer in women’s education, delivering a well-rounded curriculum of rigorous academic studies, global citizenship, competitive sport, healthy active living and community service - because of you. Thanks to your support, the tradition of inspiring and empowering women continues to be the hallmark of St. Mildred’s-Lightbourn School today. Your support and commitment to our school community has been one of our school’s greatest strengths for more than a century and continues to foster the success of SMLS and our students.

You are a vital part of that legacy. Your support benefits every Millie, and plays a special role in their journey as inspired girls and graduates. Thank you!

Together, we can continue to uplift our girls and help them grow as empowered women.

The 2022-23 Millie Fund campaign runs until June 30, 2023. Visit www.smls.on.ca/milliefund to make your gift today.
