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.

Miss Hodgins

Only 11 days until our school Christmas Concert! We have been busy practicing our song with our reading buddies (Mrs. Jackson/Mrs. Moore's Kindergarten Class) and everyone is getting very excited!

(If you know that your child will be unable to attend the Christmas Concert on the evening of December 11, please let me know as soon as possible. Your child will still practice with the class but this will help us to finalize our arrangement on the stage during our upcoming practices.)

December Scholastic order forms will be going home on either Monday or Tuesday and will be due Friday, December 5 in order to ensure that all ordered items are received before Christmas Break. If you wish to place a secret order, you may do so at any time throughout the year. Just drop it off at the office or send it to school in a sealed envelope and make sure to include a note with it so that I can give you a call when it arrives.

Sens Assembly Tomorrow (Tuesday)

Tomorrow morning we will be having a very special Sens assembly. Please wear your Sens gear (or if you cheer for one of those other teams then wear your Sens colours)!

Reminder to all parents/guardians/grandparents, etc. of our Remembrance Day Ceremony that will take place tomorrow at 10:45.

All students registered in Boy Scouts or Girl Guides, as well as, any parents in Military, Police Services, Fire and Rescue and Para Medics are encouraged to wear their full uniform and join the procession at the beginning of our Ceremony.
