Today, the students attended assemblies to become more aware around Anaphylaxis. The interactive production taught the students about the causes, symptoms and emergency responses. Also, most of the classes were taught how to use an EpiPen with a "trainer pen". In addition to the assemblies, many parents dropped in throughout the morning to visit the display from Anaphylaxis Canada. A big thank you to Mrs. Young, Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Perry for organizing the entire morning for us. The information provided to the community will be invaluable.
Next week, you will also be receiving a pamphlet on the 'MedicAlert no child without' program. This pamphlet will give you information on how to receive free medical identification services for children age 4-14. Just call the number on the back and quote the bar code and pin number.
Today, the grade 6 and 8 classes built airplanes and wind tunnels with an engineer from Bombardier. I learned a valuable lesson-don't stand in the flight path of a grade 8 student's plane! The kids really had a great time learning. Again, thank you to Mrs. Turner for organizing this event.
Just a reminder that the report cards go home on Monday and Parent/Teacher Interviews are officially scheduled for Thursday evening and Friday, or other convenient times. Generally, second term appointments are scheduled if there are areas of concern.
Good luck next week to our school teams!
