Hi Parents,

Please see below for a few updates.

Terry Fox Run
This Friday we will be having our Terry Fox run, a fundraiser for cancer. If you would like, we are collecting a  "Toonie for Terry". You can send it in anytime this week if you wish to contribute.

Mass
We had our first school Mass last Thursday, the children did an excellent job!

Fire Drills
We have already had 2 fire drills. The students did a great job at staying calm and exiting the building quietly. I encouraged them to discuss with you about the importance of having a plan at home too. Please follow through with them.

Scholastic Book Orders
Book orders will go home almost every month. You are encouraged to pay online but I also accept cheques and cash.  When you purchase books we collect points to buy books for our class collection. Thanks for your support!

Learning Commons
We had our first visit to the Learning Commons on Friday. Ms. Hawley explained to the children the importance of taking care of the books they borrow and of returning them each week. They will be taking home their first book this Friday.

Homework
I trust that homework routines went well this past week. Please let me know if you need further support with this. On Monday night I will keep the homework books and you will get the new words for the upcoming week on Tuesday.

Field Trip
Please save the date of October 16th for our first field trip. We will be going to the Science museum, more information on this to come soon.

Thanks for all of your support,
Mrs. Akl
