Weekly Update ~ Dec. 14th - 18th

It is hard to believe that we are already into the last week of school before the Christmas holidays.  Where has the time gone?  I know for the students this time of year can never come fast enough.  

On behalf of the staff at New Humble I would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!  

You Know Dasher & Dancer & Comet & Cupid...

The classes have been busy decorating their classroom doors with Santa's reindeer.  Can you guess which reindeer each door represents?

Christmas Concert ~

On Thursday, December 17th the students of New Humble Centre will be performing "Survival Santa".  The performances will be at 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Doors will open at 6:30 for the evening performance.  All students need to be in their classes by 6:45.  There will be refreshments served in the old library after the evening performance.  If you know that your child(ren) will not be at the evening performance please let the school know. Hopefully you will be able to make it out to one of the performances. Just a reminder that parking will be available in the north field.  

                                     

PJ, Potluck Day & Bingo Day ~

The last day before the Christmas holidays is one that the staff and students look forward to each year.  After a late night at the concert, we all get to come to school in our pajamas.  We enjoy having lunch together, so thank you to everyone for your contribution to the potluck lunch.  It is greatly appreciated!  After a wonderful lunch, we all enjoy playing Bingo together.  It is always heartwarming to watch the older students 

take the younger ones under their wings and help them with their Bingo cards.                                                   

                                                                                                                

 

The New Year ~

The first day back to school after the holidays is Monday, January 4th.  We will jump right back into the swing of things with basketball and a School Council/Parent Association meeting.  Both the basketball and the parents meetings are scheduled for Tuesday, January 5th.  Please check the calendar for the specifics.

                                 

Weekly Update - December 7 - 11

Only Two More Weeks Until Christmas Vacation ~

Preparations for all things Christmas are well under way at New Humble Centre.  Students have been busy practicing songs and lines for our Christmas concert.  Classes have been working on decorations for the 'Decorated Door Contest'  Each class, as well as the custodian, librarian, and office, chose a name of a reindeer and then have to decorate their door accordingly.  Doors need to be finished by Dec. 14th.  You will have to check out the creativity of everyone and see if you can guess which reindeer their door represents.
