Curling Success ~

The Gr. 3-6 students had a wonderful time curling.  They learned how to slide out of the hack, how to throw the rock, and how to sweep the rock.  They also learned how not to fall on the ice.  Some of them learned that more quickly than others.

Dr. Seuss Day ~

                                                    Wednesday, March 2 the staff and students will be honouring Dr. Seuss by dressing up as one of their favorite Dr. Seuss characters.



Proper Footwear ~

In the past week many of the students have been coming to school in running shoes.  With the nice warm weather that we have been having, the playground and school field are very wet.  There are many puddles laying around and many students end the recesses with wet socks. Not only are their feet wet but it also makes a mess down the hallway of the school.  Therefore, students should be encouraged to wear proper footwear such as winter or rubber boots until the area dries up.  Thank you for your cooperation with this matter.



Staff Planning & Development Day ~

There will be no school for students on Friday, 
March 4th as that is a Staff Planning & Development Day.  
Enjoy your up coming long weekend!
