Weekly Update - Nov. 23 - 27

Disney Day

It was wonderful to see so many students and staff dress up for Disney Day.  There were some wonderful costumes and obviously some busy moms as many of the girls had their hair all done up.  Sorry dads but I am assuming it was the moms that did the girls' hair.  If I am wrong please let me know!

A Short But Busy Week!

Despite the short week that is coming up, it looks like it will be a busy one.  

Christmas Concert Auditions ~

Christmas Concert Auditions will be starting on Tuesday, Nov. 24th.  Students in Gr. 3 - 6 were offered an opportunity to have a speaking role in the performance.  If your child was interested he or she would have brought home some lines to practice.  Good luck to everyone that is trying out. 

Basketball ~

This coming Tuesday the girls' and boys' basketball teams are off to play against Calmar Elementary.  The games are scheduled to start as soon as our teams arrive at their school. The girls are slated to go first.

Thanks to all of the parents that came out to cheer for our teams when they played against East Elementary last Tuesday.  The girls got off to a slow start but by the second half they were holding their own.  At one point there was only a one basket difference. Try as they might, they just could not sink a few more basket. Despite the lose, the girls had a great first game!

The boys did not have to work as hard to finish with a win.  Even though it was an easier game all the boys hustled out on the court and put in wonderful effort.  They did not quit 'giving their all' until the final buzzer sounded.  Excellent job, Boys!

Re-take Picture Day ~

Thursday, November 26th will be re-takes for pictures.  This is for any child that may have been absent on the first picture day or is needing re-takes.  

Report Cards ~ 

Report Cards are being sent out on Thursday, November 26th.  Hopefully everything either remained status quo or improved since your conversation with your child's teacher at Parent-Teacher Conferences.   If you do have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your child's teacher!

Professional Development Day ~

On Friday, November 27 there is no school for the students as it is a Professional Development Day for the teachers.  This is an ATA sponsored PD day so teachers will be working on individual or group activities that are linked to their Professional Growth Plans.
