Principal’s Message:
We have just finished our first term and I would like to thank the students and staff for all their hard work. I am very proud of all of you.
“Can the Principal” was was held on Nov. 26th. Mrs. Krupka’s class brought in 14 items each. They are off to the Solo store to purchase special gift items for some needy children. Thank you to everyone who participated. It is much appreciated.
We had our first movie night on Nov. 30th. Money raised goes towards our sponsor child Hillow. Thank you to all the families that came out. It was a very successful evening and the students were so well behaved.
The Super Squad has done a wonderful job helping out on the little children’s side. Thank you for all your efforts and your commitment. The amount of problems have dropped at recess which shows what a good job you are doing in teaching students how to resolve their own conflicts. Hats off to all of you! The Super Squad will be having a special afternoon some day this month. Permission forms will be sent home as soon as the date has been firmed dup.
The Grade Six students have organized a RED AND GREEN SOCK HOP AND GAMES for Friday, Dec. 114th. Make sure you bring your lunch. Parents are more than welcome to attend. Everyone should wear red or green!
Everyone is welcome to come to our annual Christmas concert on Thursday, Dec. 21st at 7:00 pm. The students and Mrs. Wyryha are working very hard to bring us a beautiful musical evening. Hope to see you all there.
Happy Holidays to everyone and all the best in the New Year!
