It's good to be thinking of Spring already! Mark your calendars...Dinner Dance is April 17th, 2010. Thank you to Kim DeLonghi and all the parents who will be organizing this great event!
The Grade 4-8 Class Safety Reps met with Ms. Perry and I on Monday to brainstorm ideas on how to implement our Character Development Traits. More details will be shared later, but remember that September's Trait is Respect.
Parent Council wants to remind you that the QSP catalogues are coming home and to please place your orders on-line this year. Thank you to all the parents who came to Parent Council on Monday night; a special thanks to all the new parents who came out! Great to have so many people volunteer for committees this year. I think we are still looking for a couple of positions. If so, we'll post them next week for you to look at.
This week we completed our fire drills and lockdown. As we practised these, the kids were very respectful and listened to their teachers. It is very important that we continue to practise these in case we actually had "real" events. If we ever have to fully evacuate the building, we would all travel down the road to Lambton-Kingsway Church. You would be notified by the school.
Remember to keep washing your hands! Have a great weekend!
