Hello Parents!
Here we are, the last week of school in 2020! Given the circumstances, I have to say, the children are doing amazingly! You should all be very proud. We also welcomed 3 new students over the past 3 weeks. Everyone has been very welcoming and supportive which is another thing to celebrate. Please see below for some information about events this week.
Advent Project
This is the last week of our Advent Project. We are accepting donations of blankets and towels as well as Tim Horton and Loblaws Gift Cards for the Shepherds of Good Hope. Wednesday is the deadline for donations. Thanks to everyone for contributing so far.
Spirit Week
This week the whole school is participating in Spirit Week. Please support your child in participating as much as you can, no pressure though, I know these are not always easy to keep up with.
Monday - Festive Socks Day
Tuesday - Festive Hair Accessories
Wednesday - PJ Day - Festive ones if you have them.
Thursday - Wear your favorite plaid.
Friday - Christmas Sweater Day
Word Wall
There will not be any new Word Wall Words this week, instead we will review all those learned so far. I will also send home a review sheet for you all.
Movie Day
We will be having popcorn and a movie on Wednesday afternoon to celebrate their hard work.
Nativity Play
As part of our Drama unit, we have been practicing the story of the birth of Jesus. The children have done so well with this. With maks on, the voices are pretty muffled in the recording that I had hoped to share with you, but I wanted to let you know they have all done so well and I wish circumstances were different and you could see their performance. With any luck perhaps at the end of June parents will be allowed in for something! I'd be so happy!
I would like to wish you all a safe and restful Christmas break. I hope that you are able to see some family and friends even if it is from a distance or via Zoom. All the best to you in 2021 also. I'm very hopeful it'll be a positive year for us all!
God Bless,
Mrs. Akl
