It was a fantastic day for our first Cross-Country Race. We have some pretty fast runners at this school and many of our students will be advancing to the Conference Finals. Practice will continue next week as regularly scheduled for those moving on. I'd like to congratulate all the students who participated on the team this year-around 140 in total! You all showed great dedication, perseverance and sportsmanship. You have made Mrs. Wilson, Mr. Ellerker and myself very proud. Thanks to Mr. Blais, Mrs. Norton and all the parents who attended today's meet.
Lately, a few of our older students have been darting into the streets and "jumping" over curbs etc on their scooters and skateboards. We've spoken to the students about this safety issue and ask you to do the same at home. There is so much traffic around the school that we need to do everything we can to prevent any accidents.
On another safety note, I've asked Mrs. Miller, our mom who organizes the weekly Parent Bulletin, to include some Street-Proofing tips for you to go over with your children. They can also be found on our website for the future.
I'd like to thank all the parents who attended the Parent Council Meeting on Monday night. Mrs. Kidd and Mrs. Fuda, Co-Chairs, welcomed the parents and gave an introduction to Council. We hope to see you out again on the 27th. Mrs. McGee also showed how parents can navigate the TDSB Virtual Library. Bookmarks and instructions on how to navigate the library were sent home. You can access it by going to tdsb.on.ca and then "Find Your School". The virtual library has some amazing resources for the students. It's really worth looking at.
Another great resource for students in grade 7-10 is "Homework Help". It's a free online math tutoring program available every Sunday to Thursday from 5:30 pm to 9:30 pm. You can access it at Ontario.ca/HomeworkHelp.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
