Please keep in mind that there is a service at the school beginning at 10:30 Wednesday morning.All are welcome,(maybe check on the time). Also, tomorrow, Tuesday at 12:45 our students will be attending a Remembrance Day Service in the cafetorium.
Grade two- eight spelling words for Friday's test. Check your child's agenda or homework duotang for these words. Also please see that your child brings a book home each night. I can not stress enough the importance of this nightly reading.
Gr. two students have brought home a form and brochure about flouride. Please sign this and return it as soon as possible. We will be starting this soon.
Report cards will be going home Mon. Nov. 16 th.Parent-Teacher Interviews will be held the evening of Wednesday Nov. 18th from 6:00-8:00 pm. and Thursday morning Nov. 19th from 9:00- 11:00. There will also be a Scholastic Book Fair in the Library the same week.
There will be no school for students on the 19th and 20th. Teachers have scheduled Professional Development sessions on these two days.
Thank you to those who have already contributed to the "books for schools" through World Vision. This is a very worthwhile project. Also we are going to be sending some small toys and other items to Afghanistan. Trevor O'Neill is currently there and is willing to distribute some things to the children. They have very little. We are asked to not send any toy guns or anything related to violence or war.
All the best to those of you heading out on the water to set traps this week. May you have a safe and prosperous season.
