Hello Parents.
This week proves to be another busy one with some new projects ( Cereal Box Novel Report and Poetry Anthology) and finishing up a few top secret projects which will come home on Friday. We will also be participating in a student vote on Tuesday for the Provincial Election. On that topic, our school is a polling station and the gym will be closed for any school use. As a result, there will be no Action Morning. Here are the events and reminders for this week:
