Forest Friday

Looking forward to another Fresh Air Friday in the forest!

Missions Support

As you know, our school is sending a team of students and staff to the Philippines on Spring Break.  Our very own Mr. Morris and Mr. and Mrs. Tymos will be part of this adventure!

Here are two ways to support the team:

1. Come out on Tuesday night for a dessert night  to learn more about what the team will be doing while in the Philippines.  Tickets are $12 and can be purchased on the school website, at the office, or at the door.

2. Order a special hot lunch (hot dog, bag of chips, and/or rice krispies treat) for February 14 on munch a lunch.  All proceeds will go toward the project.

Thank you on behalf of Team Philippines 2024!

Hallway Behaviours

Today the Kindies and I had a little chat at the end of the day about hallway behaviours, specifically before the morning bell rings.  I reminded the children  that we share the hallway with other people (like the office staff and Mr. Morris) and want to be respectful of them, not disturbing them as they do their work.  We agreed that our voices should be quiet and our bodies should be still as we wait at the door.

I have posted a sign on our door.  As parents, please feel free to remind the children of these expectations.

Thank you so much!

 

 

Thank You!

Happy New Year!   I hope you’ll forgive me for the very late Thank You for all of the lovely cards and gifts I received before the Christmas break.  I felt so blessed and spoilt!

I trust that you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday with your family and loved ones.  Hopefully you managed to squeeze in a nap or two on the couch or were able to do something fun for yourself.  Let’s face it.  Christmas can be a lot of work!

Mr, Morris and I are enjoying some down time after the hustle and bustle of Christmas.  It’s so nice to have the bulk of the break fall after Christmas Day!

Looking forward to seeing you back at school next week!  Wishing you and your family a blessed new year.  Welcome 2024!

Christmas Concert

A message from Mrs. Shinness on what to wear for our Christmas concert on Thursday, December 21:

“I’m asking students to wear ‘their Christmas best’ which can be everything from fancy dresses or shirts with bow ties to uniform pants with a colourful tshirt. I’m asking for no uniforms or jeans.”

Family Homework

Our theme for the month of November and December is Families.  Next week in your child’s folder you will find a yellow paper titled, Grandparent’s Interview.  I am hoping that this can be a fun activity over the holidays to complete with one of your child’s grandparents.  It can been returned in the New Year.
