Special Events & Projects
- Family Literacy Day: Students are encouraged to dress as their favourite literary (book) character. We will be having a guest reader come into the classroom and read to the students. We encourage families to spend time reading to and with their children.
- Skating: We will be going skating on January 29th, February 5th, 12th, 19th, & 26th from 2:00pm until 3:00pm. On these days, please send skates and a helmet with your child. It would be terrific to have some parent volunteers to walk with us to the arena, tie skates, and have fun at the rink! Please write a note in the agenda if you are able to volunteer for one (or multiple) skating times. Thank you.
