This week we learned about Terry Fox through story and discussion. We did our 2 laps of running around the soccer field in memory of Terry Fox. Thank you to those who contributed a toonie for the Terry Fox Foundation. We thank God for healthy bodies, and pray that everyone will stay healthy and safe as the cold and flu season comes upon us.

Oct. 1 Drop-Off:
Admin is requesting that beginning October 1st, that parents do not bring students into the building. We are trying to keep the number of extra bodies in the hallways to a minimum because of covid regulations. If you need assistance with coming in, you can let the staff at the front doors know and they will come and get me and I can help out!

Just a friendly reminder that these comfort kits are due to be returned as soon as possible. You should have received your child’s comfort kit from last year that needs to be updated as per the letter sent home. If you are new to the school please read the information letter I sent home last week which outlines what is needed for these kits.
All About Me Pennants:
Yesterday I sent home (in a plastic protector) a paper for you to fill out with your child. You can scribe as your child tells you what to fill in the blanks. Students can pencil draw a picture in the portrait section. Please send these completed pennants as soon as possible or no later than Wednesday, Sept. 29. Thank you!
