Weekly Update March 1

Congratulations to all of the skiers! Sounds like everyone had a great time and should now be recovered from the trip. Thanks to Ms. Paul and our chaperones for looking after the students so well.


On Thursday the class went to see The Rick Hansen Story at MTYP. Although their audio and lights weren't working, the play was very good and the students enjoyed it. This was the last of our MTYP plays for the year. Thanks to all of those people who have driven for us this year.

Thank you to the parents who volunteered to make Family Literacy Night on Friday such a success. I got to be a parent and really enjoyed the activities.

ELA & Religion--The students will be completing their Olympics Unit this week. In Religion the students should have handed in their Children's Bible Stories. They will be sharing them with the younger grades and during chapel.

The students should have brought home a pink letter explaining the “My Hands are Helping” project. Each student is encouraged to help someone else, either at home or at school, without being asked and with no expectation of being rewarded or paid back for their kind deed. Please fill in the small form explaining what the student did and then send it back to school. They will be posted on the bulletin board in the front hall.
