PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE:
Dear Parent/Guardian(s):
We have just completed our
second term reporting and our
Parent/Teacher conferences
were conducted last week. I
would like to thank parents and
guardians for taking the time
to visit with the teachers to
discuss your child’s progress.
The month of April welcomes
new learning opportunities for
our students. Our Grade 2/3
and 3 students will be attending
swimming lessons, we will be
hosting the Concours (French
public speaking), and our entire
school will be participating in a
three week Exploratory
session. These sessions offer
students a chance to
experience an activity they
might normally not have the
opportunity to do. There is a
tremendous amount of planning
involved so I would like to thank
the staff and volunteers who
make this event possible.
We also start planning for our
Grade 8 closing activities for
our students this month. Grade
8 pictures will be taken for the
annual school portrait and
orders for the “Grad” hoodie
will be placed.
April is here! We hope sunshine
and warm weather will be just
around the corner! Have a
wonderful Easter Break! Lee Ann Stacey
