Highlights of the Week: Oct. 25 - 31

 
 

THANK YOU

  • to everyone who has been supporting our Food Drive. It is gratifying to see the boxes fill in front of the office (we regularly take items over to the parish office, yet there are always more coming!)

  • to parents for driving children to and from sports events, and picking children up promptly following after-school practices

  • to those who have sent in a donation to help cover costs for Games Day

INFORMATION:

  • There is a new section on our school website for extra-curricular activities and athletics! There is a calendar of events, as well as a section for permission forms. Thank you to Melissa Godbout for setting that up for us.

  • The Grade 4/5 Soccer Tournament had the potential to be held on three separate days, but all of our games will be on Tuesday (see below for details).

  • Games Day is during school hours (this was on the October Calendar as an evening activity - that had been our hope when we did our calendar last spring! Hopefully, next year we can go back to an evening event!).
