2024 Merry Market Student Vendors
Bayview Glen News, Prep School
Bayview Glen encourages students to embrace entrepreneurial ventures to cultivate the confidence and creativity needed to think boldly and innovate. Recently at our Merry Market, students from all divisions showcased their own businesses, gaining essential business skills through hands-on experience. This entrepreneurial mindset reflects the dynamic and forward-thinking spirit of Bayview Glen, empowering students to shape their own futures while contributing meaningfully to their communities. Read about two of our Prep School students who participated as vendors at the Merry Market!
Bead It Together – Julia, Grade 6 Student
Hi, I’m Julia, and I’m in Grade 6. When I was six years old, I started making bracelets to raise money for SickKids Hospital. Over the last two years, I’ve expanded to creating bracelets, rings, and necklaces, raising $11,000 in total. All proceeds have been donated to support individuals and communities in need, including:
- Purchasing a mattress for a mother with palliative lung cancer, giving her a more comfortable place to rest.
- Contributing to a school breakfast program, ensuring children start their day with a nutritious meal.
- Supporting the Spinal Cord Injury Ontario Peer Support Program, empowering individuals with spinal cord injuries.
- Assisting a young woman undergoing a second brain tumor surgery, offering hope during a difficult time.
- Helping cover medication costs for a child with a neurological condition, easing the financial burden on their family.
The proceeds from this year’s Merry Market have been donated to Penny’s Promise Fund to help fund research into treatments for SEPN-1, a rare congenital form of spinal muscular dystrophy. Please visit pennyspromise.ca to learn more.
I am thankful for your support as it has contributed to improving many lives which means the world to me.
Your Happy Slimes – Leyli, Grade 6 Student
Hi, I’m Leyli!
I’m the creator of Your Happy Slimes, and I started this business because I’ve loved slime for as long as I can remember. I think slime is so satisfying to play with, and it’s definitely my favorite fidget toy. I’ve even studied slime for a while, so I know a lot about it!
I really wanted to come up with my own slimes to customize them and share them with others. I came up with the idea to sell my slimes at the Merry Market. It took a lot of hard work to make all the slime, but it was worth it because everything went really well.
I ended up selling all my slimes at the Merry Market, a big thanks to everyone who supported me and I think we are lucky to have the Merry Market its a lot of fun for everyone.
I am donating a portion of the sales to support the future Bahá’í Temple for Canada, a space dedicated to worship and unity for people of all backgrounds and faiths.

Holiday Message from the Parent Association President
Happy Holidays to the whole parent community!
As we wind down 2024 and look ahead to 2025, I would like to extend my sincere thank you to everyone for making this a wonderful start of the school year. We began the year with one of the best attended welcome breakfast meetings that we have ever had! It was here that I saw the level of commitment and strong friendships that are present in our parent community.
It has been a fun-filled start to the year with coffee socials, our Halloween event, and the ever-popular Merry Market. The new year will bring even more opportunities to laugh, share, and be together. Many thanks to everyone for your continued participation and support, it is lovely to see such pride and warmth in our school.
The holidays are a great time to unwind, unplug, and to be present, and I would like to wish everyone a joyful holiday season. May you have a restful and peaceful break with family and friends near and dear to your hearts. I am looking forward to seeing you all in the new year, relaxed and renewed and ready for the upcoming year.
Warm regards,
Sherry Bhide
President, Bayview Glen Parent Association
