A MESSAGE FROM QSP AND YOUR FALL FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE:

January is a time when we receive many inquiries at our service line. Customers want to know exactly when their subscriptions will start and we can answer that question in less than one minute. But YOU need to call us to get assistance!!!
Our service is 1-800-667-2536. Orders can still be placed at www.qsp.ca which will continue to raise money!It's a perfect time to order Easter or Mother's Day gifts!

We'd like to take this time to thank you for supporting the many initiatives in our school. The funds raised through our Parent Council has gone to a variety of areas that contribute to the academic and social success of our students. Two such programs the kids really enjoy are the Scientist in the School and Artist in the School. As you can see below, most class visits have been arranged for the upcoming months. Please look for the kids'work in our hallways!

January's Character Trait is "Teamwork". We will be stressing this in the classroom and outside at recess and lunch. We hope that you could also discuss the importance of this character trait at home!
