This week, our science committee consisting of Mr. Littlejohn, Mr. Iceton, Ms. Chandra and myself had the pleasure of hosting a group of teachers in nearby schools that are very much interested in running a Family of Schools Science Fair next year. It was a productive meeting and good opportunity for the teachers to network; something we don't always have enough time to do in our profession. Our grade 6-8 science fair will be February 1, 2017 with all classes visiting during the day and an open house at night for parents. We are really looking forward to it and more details will follow next year.
As the warm weather approaches, please remind your children that the school has a dress code. Bascially, we don't want to see any undergarments and body parts should be covered. This generally applies more to the older grades. We will have a discussion about this at school too.
We are pleased to tell you that the Student Council will be raising funds for Fort McMurray through a Dance-a-thon in June. Details will follow shortly.
By the way, there will be construction on Prince Edward starting on Friday. Please be extra mindful when driving around the school.
I hope everyone has a great weekend.
