Good luck to all teams involved in the tournament.

 

INCLEMENT WEATHER

Our procedure for rescheduling school lunch days when we are out of the school is not as easy as it may seem. Because we plan our lunch days around the kindergarten schedule it is important to note that the make-up day will never be the day we return back to school. The date will always be re-scheduled and notice will go home so that you are able to plan ahead. Chicken Chunks and Salad on Thursday December 6.

 

SANTA CLAUS PARADE

Congratulations to all the students, staff and parents that contributed to the Christmas Parade float this year helping to communicate the importance of the Christmas season as not only a time of giving but also a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ our saviour. As an added blessing we received a second place prize for our float. A special thank you to Tanya Terpstra, Shelley Couto, Julie Immink, Barb and Chris Runstedler, and all those parents that volunteered their time to walk with the float.
