November

I hope everyone had a fun and candy filled Halloween.  Here are some pictures of the Halloween fun that happened at school.

Thank you to all the parents and grandparents that came out to the costume parade!




Basketball season has begun with practices at lunch.  There have been some games scheduled for both the girls' and boys' team for November.  Mrs. Mertins will be coaching the boys' team and Mrs. Hawkins will be coaching the girls'.  If your child has expressed interest in playing, they will be bringing home an information letter in the next few days.

With the increase in enrollment this fall we have been fortunate enough to hire a half time teacher.  We would like to welcome Miss Jena Freund.  Miss Freund will be teaching Gr. 1 Language Arts and Math in the morning.  Her classroom will be in the portable.
