February 3, 2010

Thank you to all the parents and new students who registered this week for kindergarten. We have approximately 50 new students so far and expect more in the next couple of weeks. If you know someone who hasn't registered yet, please have them call the school.

Thank you for your cooperation on the Snow Day. The students certainly had a fun time in the Shale Pit, but it does take a little bit of emergency child care planning if you still have to go to work. Hopefully, it doesn't happen for another 12years.

Report Cards will be coming home on the 14th and teachers are requesting interviews for students if there is a pressing matter or concern. If you feel you would like to talk to the teacher regardless, please make sure you contact them.

A big thank you to all of our grade 4-8 class Safety Reps who performed a skit on bullying to our grade 1-3 students today. They have been working since the holidays at lunches to create a play on bullying. The skit was followed by some questions and answers. This was a really meaningful experience for both the primary students and the safety reps as they demonstrated their leadership and organizational skills.

One final reminder that the grade 8 students are selling Candy Grams to raise funds for their Quebec Trip. At lunch, they will be selling nut-free "sweettarts' for a dollar.
