Pink Shirt Day is Wednesday!
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Hole on to your hats! The next two weeks with Lacrosse for gym, Trickster and Pink Shirt Day will be very busy.
Students had their first lesson in Lacrosse today. Ask your child (children) what they learned and now what they can do!
Students Have Mail
Tomorrow the PM students will be part of our lockdown practice. The information was sent home with PM students in their back packs.
Students took home a brochure on our Lacrosse Team that is teaching this week and information about lessons for students outside of school is included.
Wednesday is Pink Shirt Day
Students can wear a pink shirt in support of Pink Shirt Day this Wednesday. The simple but powerful message for this year's Pink Shirt Day is, "Lift Each Other Up." This month we are learning about and showing ways of caring at home and at school. By caring and lifting each other up we are helping others in a caring and inclusive way. Students wear informal uniforms if not taking part in Pink Shirt Day.
Learning on the Land
The next two weeks will present lots of opportunities for the kindergarten students to go out to learn on the school yard. Please make sure your child is dressed and has winter boots on so that they can participate. We are going out to do a math lesson! And gym classes when not in lacrosse.
We're learning about beavers in anticipation of building our beaver lodges. You may have been asked to show them a nickel as we learned about the symbolism of beavers.
