Dear families,

I would like to thank our students for another great week! They were busy sharing their learning with their teachers. It was great to see our students using math tools to solve many math problems.

Our lost and found is quickly filling up again. Please label your child’s items so our lost and found helpers can return the items to your child.

We are looking for paid supervision monitors. We have 2 shifts (8:15 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. or 10:30 a.m. to 11:10 a.m.). If you are interested in this position, please contact Amy Humphrys in the main office.

On Friday, January 26, our teachers will be participating in professional activities and the school will be closed.

Thank you,

Andrea Michelutti, Principal

Upcoming Dance-a-thon!

On January 30  at 9:45 p.m., Professor Jamz will be launching our dance-a-thon which will take place on February 23. We are hoping for all students to collect pledges to help pay for additional home reading books, enhancements to the schoolyard and the school. We are looking for volunteers to count money and sell glow merchandise during the dance-a-thon. If you are able to help, please email andrea_michelutti@wrdsb.ca.
