Jump Rope for Heart

February is Heart month! It is also our Jump Rope for Heart Fundraiser. This month during PE, students will be skipping and jumping in a variety of ways! The purpose of this event is to bring awareness to heart health. On Friday, February 7^th, students will also take part in a kickoff assembly where we will learn about healthy habits and be treating to the skipping talents of the Calgary Skip Squad.

VALENTINE's Day is coming up!  Since this is our last year of elementary school, we thought we might share some kindness and IF STUDENTS WANT TO they can bring in 21 valentines (maybe home made) to give to classmates.  We will make a 'mailbox' and bring them home on February 12th.  This is the last day of school before Convention and Family Day break! A list of classmates can be found on...... Raz Kids (CLICK HERE) or last year's yearbook!
