Highlights of the Day:
Today was a very exciting day as we had our Terry Fox run! We began the day by recording on Terry Fox stickers who we were running for (if we did not have a particular name to write, we wrote Terry Fox). At around 9:00 we were called down to an assembly where many brave students shaved their hair/ got a pony-tail chop (even two courageous kids from our class!) After the assembly (and a brief bathroom/ snack break), we walked to the ridge for the actual run-- and what a run it was! After walking back to the school, we joined Mrs. Morin's class for a special musical guest-- Paulo!
* One of our students brought in three Shopkins to "Share and Shine" at the end of today, however she is missing one. If all parents and students could take a look in their backpacks (just to make sure it didn't get put there by mistake) it would be much appreciated!
Mail Pockets:
- CCASA Brochure (oldest and only)
Please and Thank You:
- Please return all school forms, volunteer forms, and coupon book packages (whether ordering or not) at your earliest convenience.
- Please return the Who Do You Tell consent forms by the 24th. Please email me if you have concerns.
- If you have spare phonebooks at home, please consider sending them in (ideally, two stacked together and wrapped in duct tape, please and thank you!). We use these as a tool for children's seated posture, as many of the students' feet don't yet reach the ground in grade one.

Our class visits the Learning Commons on Thursday mornings. If your child would like to exchange their current book for a new one, please return by Thursday.
