This week, our Terry Fox Helpers received a beautiful thank you letter from Martha, the Provincial Director, for their service to the foundation. Congratulations to Daniel, Jacob, Neave, Regan, Johanthan, Lulu (all in grade 2), Eilis, Fox and David (grade 3), David, Veronica and Miranda (grade 5), and a special mention to Annabel, Grace, Frances, Dana and Nicolette, all in grade 7 who have volunteered for the last four years. Special recognition also goes to Jason, a cancer survivor himself!

Mr. Bracht asked me to tell you that the Phys. Ed website is down and the kids have a schedule in their homerooms.

We are very proud of our students' academic achievements thus far. The preliminary DRA ( a reading diagnostic our primary teachers complete) show that in grade one, 42% of our students are approaching level, 32% are at level and 20% are already above level. 25% of our grade 2 students are at level and 69% are above, while are grade three students measure at 5% approaching, 35% at level and 57% above. We are very happy with these results at this point of the year.

Time to say goodbye to November! Have a great weekend!
