The Gospel Values Assembly that was scheduled for today will now take place at 9:40 tomorrow (Thursday) morning.

On Friday, we will be having an Elf Yourself Day and/or Wear a Christmas Hat/Shirt Day. On Friday we will be making Christmas cards for people in our community. If students wish, they may bring a snack to share with the class while we are making cards. Please remember though that we are a NUT FREE school and that we have several students with allergies in our class.

Thank you so much to everyone who was able to make it to our Christmas Concert tonight! It was an amazing evening and it seems like everyone had a lot of fun! Also, thank you to all of the volunteers; we wouldn't have been able to do it without you!

Secret Santa

Last week, several students asked about doing a class Secret Santa. I explained to the class that I do not like Secret Santa because there is always someone who forgets to bring a gift, gets left out, or can not participate for whatever reason. On Monday, I reaffirmed that we would NOT be doing a Secret Santa at school. Some students said they would be doing one with their friends after school. I explained that, like all other activities outside of school, I have no control over what they decide to do on weekends or after school with their friends. It has been brought to my attention that some students have said that they are planning a Secret Santa, even though I have said we are not doing one. We discussed this issue again this morning and all of the students are aware that there is no Secret Santa taking place in our Grade 5 class.

Thank you for your cooperation with this matter.
