Thank you for helping us recognize our students for their wonderful "teamwork" today at the Sharing Assemblies. Teamwork is the character trait that we are celebrating this month.

We are very excited as we have been awarded a grant of ten thousand dollars from the Board to paint our school. Last year, we got an estimate to have the school painted as we are in desperate need of a fresh coat of paint. The cost to paint the school is approximately $55 000, so the ten will allow us to do some work. The painters are returning soon to let us know what scope of work can be completed. Some of the students and staff have been involved with the colour choice and I'll be asking for a parent volunteer at Parent Council.

On the renovation note, we will also begin our artificial turf work in the Spring.

Looking forward to Kindergarten Registration next week. Have a great weekend everyone!
