Today, we held our Remembrance Day Assembly in the gym for all the students, staff and community. I'd like to thank you for attending as the kids see Remembrance Day as a community event; something to be shared together, and honoured. I'd like to thank Ms. Moser, Ms. Hoffman and Ms. McGee for organizing this event today; it was a beautiful ceremony. Again, thank you to the families who donated items to our community display in the front hall, and to Mrs. Armstrong and Mrs. Wolfer (Alumni Parents) who created such a beautiful collage of memories. The students who performed today should also be recognized; your performances were beautifully done. Excellent job to Kaitlyn and Paul.
On Monday, Progress Reports will be going home and we will begin our week of interviews. My "report card" letter will be attached with this week's grade parent letter. I'm also sending along this link for you as it is a good article on how to talk to your child about report cards: http://school.familyeducation.com/report-cards/parents-and-school/38368.html.
I'd also like to thank our Kindergarten Parents for completing our on-line Literacy Survey. The kindergarten team will be looking at the collected data to help form the basis of an upcoming workshop. We are grateful for your support.
Congratulations to Mrs. Shklar, our grade two/three teacher, on the birth of her first baby. Best wishes to your new family.
