I'd like to thank Mrs. Wilson, Mr. Bracht and Mr. Ellerker for helping at our Cross Country Meet on Tuesday. We took around 130 students from grades 1-8. We are very proud of all of our students, especially our new grade ones, who have come to early morning practices; even in the rain! The races were fast and long and it was evident our students really tried their best. We have quite a few going on to our West Finals on the 11th. Good Luck! Also, I'd like to thank Mr. Ross and Mr. Littlejohn for coaching our Junior Boys' Softball team on Thursday. The kids played great. Again, thank you to all of our parents who drove our teams.
I'd like to also thank our parents who have volunteered their time this year to be part of our Parent Council Executive: Mrs. Laco and Ms. Townsend (Co-Chairs), Mrs. Kress (Vice), Mrs. Haslam (Treasurer), Mrs. Hinckley (Secretary) and Mrs. Miller (Grade Parent Rep). Our next PC meeting is on October 17th @ 7:30.
We still have a few weeks until we start writing our mid-term Ministry Progress Reports; the same reports that were first implemented last year. The report cards will be sent home on November 14th. The same week, teachers will be setting up teacher-parent interviews. This year, we will be moving to an on-line booking format instead of sending home paper. Many secondary schools use this process and our intermediate team used one last February with much success. This year, all parents will have the opportunity to book their interviews on-line. We are looking forward to this process as it is much more efficient. We will be sending out detailed information about this process shortly.
I wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!
