Terry Fox Run – CONGRATULATIONS to our amazing community. Our students were OVER THE MOON to hear that they reached their fundraising goal of $4000!!! It is quite an achievement for such a small school to reach such a huge goal. Thank you to parents, grandparents, neighbours and friends  who all donated to the Terry Fox fund. We continue to be inspired by his message of hope for a cure.

Wednesday, October 3rd is International Walk to School Wednesday. As a matter of fact, October is International Walk to School Month! We are working really hard to encourage students to walk to school. It is such a healthy way to start the day and helps to alleviate the crazy traffic at drop off and pick up time. Please take a moment to plan your walk for this Wednesday morning. We don’t have any formal routes planned, but encourage everyone who can, to PLEASE WALK to school.

Walking School Bus – The Walking School Bus parent committee is getting close to having some routes and days planned out. Stay tuned for more information.

Friday, October 5th we will celebrate our teachers on World Teacher Day. We have incredible educators who are passionate about their craft. They come to work everyday full of positivity, energy and ideas to engage our students in learning. On Friday, teachers will turn around and celebrate their students and the community by taking a pie to the face for the incredible efforts during the Terry Fox campaign! Be sure to check out the pictures on Twitter. Remember, you don’t need to have a twitter account to view the pictures.
