Hello Families,

Once again we will be collecting for the Veterans Association Food Bank to show our support and appreciation for those who have served our country.  We will be collecting non-perishable food items during the month of November at the school. Feel free to make your donation when you come for Parent Teacher Interviews if that is convenient. There will be a donation box by the front entrance. You can also make a financial donation. Cheques can be made out to the Veterans Association Food Bank. Interac e-transfers can be sent to info.vafb@gmail.com. Please also send a separate email with your security question and answer so they may access the donation funds. For more information on this incredible organization use the following link:

We are performing at the Remembrance Day Assembly! FRIDAY, November 8th at 10:30 am

We have the responsibility of leading the Remembrance Day Assembly for the school.  We have worked on art, songs, some of our classmates will be MCs or speaking.  As part of the assembly, we are learning the famous Canadian poem: In Flanders Fields by John McCrae.

Homework -

Practice the poem out loud.  Each student has a sheet to take home and bring back to school to practice.  Also,  CLICK here is a video to use for speed and timing!  This is Ms. Sayer reciting the poem we are using.
