End of Week-March 8th!



Grade 7 and 8 Houseleague

 We are so proud of the students who participated in the grade 7 and 8 hockey tournament this week. I had the opportunity to watch both our teams play against each other! Again, thanks to Mr. Bracht and Mr. Lanis for coaching this year.



Grade 4-6 Houseleague

 I also want to thank Nicolette and Dana from grade 7 as they were instrumental in organizing and running our grade 4-6 girls' houseleague. We will be running a grade 4-6 boys houseleague program after March Break.



Kindergarten Reflection



Kindergarten Reflection

This week, our kindergarten classes attended the Young People's Theatre to watch "The Cat Came Back"! They really enjoyed themselves and loved talking to the actors as they left. Thanks to Mrs. Mendrinos, Mrs. Raymond, Mrs. Tyndall and Mrs. Iafrate for organizing and taking the kids, and a big thank you to all the volunteers! 



Grade 8 Conference



On Thursday, Mrs. Chandra and myself attended a conference with four grade 8 girls to celebrate International Women's Day. The day focused on girls' self-esteem and body image. Gender issues were looked at on a global perspective.

Congratulations to all the students who checked out a book in the library. Last month, we checked out 1844  books school-wide compared to 1501 books in February of 2011. Keep up your reading over the Break everyone!

Finally, we hope Ms. Olabanwo, one of our lunch room supervisors, the best of luck as she welcomes her third baby to her family.

Have a great March Break!
