100's Day Celebrations

Thank you to all of our families for helping your child celebrate the 100th day of school! We loved your creativity in designing t shirts. The kids wore these creations proudly! We also want to offer our sincerest thanks for donating 100 non-perishable food items! Your generosity is a testament to your love of neighbour.

Parent-Teacher Interviews

Parent-Teacher interviews will be held this Monday and Thursday. We still have openings and if you haven't signed up yet, please forward your preferred time by completing the interview request form, or send us a note on Remind. If these dates do not work for you and you would like to speak to us about your child's progress, please contact us and we will do our best to schedule an alternate meeting time or date.

Space Inquiry

Our little ones are loving our space inquiry. They are learning about our solar system and terminology such as orbit. This week we will be making rocket ships. Please send in small boxes, paper towel rolls. foil and wrap. Glue sticks would also be appreciated!

Litterless Lunches and Recycling

Two of our Catholic Graduate Expectations are "Caring Family Member" and"Responsible Citizen." Caring for the God's creation and the wider social community are values we hope to instill in our students.

Thank you to all who send in litterless lunches and snacks. We appreciate your using reusable containers!  Of course, from time to time, children bring in items that are pre-packaged. And, our milk program makes use of paperboard cartons and straws.

Since school has started, we have been working with our students on sorting refuse into the garbage bin, the blue recycling bin and the green composting bin. You may support your child's learning by having them help you sort your own litter at home.

Lenten Promise

The beginning of Lent (Ash Wednesday on March 6) is fast approaching! During the 40 days before Easter we will focus on preparing our hearts for Jesus' Resurrection. This can be accomplished through the three pillars of Lenten observance: prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Your child will be encouraged to make a Lenten promise about how they will show God's love.

*** Shrove Tuesday will be celebrated on Tuesday, March 5. Students will receive nut-free pancakes as a special treat that day.
