This week's reminders and updates:

1) Friday, October 7th is a PD day and there is no EDP on this day.  

2) Welcome to Courtney Kennedy who is our newest ECE in the afternoons.  Welcome to Bob Clark who is now our 50% Librarian.  A sad farewell to Annie DaSilva (afternoon ECE) and Kristina Rondeau (English teacher) who have both been able to accept positions in other schools - they will be missed.

3) Please do not allow your children to ride their bikes or scooters on the yard after school.  The yard is actually being used by the school until 6:15pm each day by our EDP program and follows the same rules as are in the school day.  Thank you for your support of this.

4) It was a wonderful sea of Orange today.  Thank you for your support of this day and thanks to staff for a wonderful assembly.

5) This month we are focussing on appreciation.  I have challenged all of our students (for the entire month) to come up with a different thing they are grateful for each day.  We encourage you to join us all too and perhaps make this a breakfast or dinner time routine.   

6) Terry Fox Day - Every other year we do a big fundraising campaign to continue to bring awareness and support to this worthy cause.  This year we will be doing a run on October 12th at 8:30am.  You are welcome to join us.  If you wish to make a person contribution you can do so at:

7) IWalk/Run - This Wednesday!  Please encourage your child to walk, bike or run to school.  We will also be doing a walk around the yard for 15mins after busses arrive so that everyone can participate. 

Have a great weekend!
