What a fantastic Terry Fox morning! Thank you to our volunteers for helping us out! The grade ones were incredibly respectful during the assembly, and had super attitudes and did their best running for Terry. We were very thirsty, hungry, and tired afterward...but enjoyed a surprise visit from Paulo (my dad, who is a music teacher and children's songwriter!) We finished our super morning with a full grade one sing-along. Enjoy the weekend!
Mail Pockets
-Mail pockets did not go home today as there were no new notices.
Please and Thank You
- Please return the Who Do You Tell consent forms by the 24th. Please email me if you have concerns. A parent information meeting is on Wednesday (23rd) at 6:00 pm
- Please return all school forms, volunteer forms, and coupon book packages (whether ordering or not) at your earliest convenience.
- If you have spare phonebooks at home, please consider sending them in (ideally, two stacked together and wrapped in duct tape, please and thank you!). We use these as a tool for children's seated posture, as many of the students' feet don't yet reach the ground in grade one.
Volunteer Opportunities
- Helping make personal mini word walls
Library Books
Our class visits the Learning Commons on Wednesday mornings. If your child would like to exchange their current book for a new one, please return by Wednesday.
