We have had a very excitement-filled week!  Two hot dog lunches provided by the Wellness team and the making of gingerbread houses!

We spent a good part of our week preparing for the Christmas concert that we shared with our community on Thursday!  Thank you all for coming!  

We also managed to squeeze in a bit of learning this week too!  

Our final day of 2019 was spent together enjoying food, fun and each other's company in our PJ's! Thank you to all the families for feeding all of us so well!  

Have a very Merry Christmas and a relaxing time with family and friends over the break!  See you all in January!

Merry Winter!  I would like to remind all families that our students play outside four times everyday.  It is important that everyone has proper clothing for our Canadian winter weather - boots, snow pants, winter jacket, mitts and toque (& extra mittens and socks).  Even on really cold days, we may go outside for a short while. Please come prepared everyday!

Once you are confirmed as a parent supervisor, please keep in mind that parents will not fit on the bus, so we are asking you to carpool together.  This event has free admission and well as supplemented busing.
