Dear Families,
We have enjoyed another week of stellar fall weather, however the weather is about to change. Next week will be colder and students need to be prepared, layering of clothing is helpful; hoodies, light or heavy jackets, toques and mitts. If possible please label your child(ren)’s clothing as the lost and found keeps on growing. Thank you!
Grade 6 Outdoor Camp Fundraiser
The Grade 6 students will be hosting a Halloween Candy Fundraiser, from October 23 - October 31.
Funds are going towards the cost of Grade 6 outdoor school which will take place later in the school year. Grade 6 students will be going around to all classes starting Wednesday October 23 to take orders for students that would like to purchase a candy bag.
Students will need to pay in advance for their candy bag order, and candy bags will be delivered by Grade 6 students at the end of the day, on October 31!
The cost to purchase a bag to help support Grade 6's going to outdoor school is $5.
Thank you for supporting our Grade 6 students as they prepare for their Outdoor School!
