  1. Do you have any Christmas Cards to recycle??? In anticipation of our School’s Kindness Challenge next December we would like to ask families to send in the front pictures of any Christmas Cards that they are recycling. There is a collection box in the front lobby to collect donations. We would like to reuse the front cover of these Christmas cards with students next year to send encouraging messages to our Canadian Armed Forces as part of the Kindness Challenge.

​4. FREE Math Workshop Opportunity for Parents!  – Nikki Lineham, a well known Math Specialist, is offering a FREE math workshop for parents at THSS on January 28th between 6:30-8pm. She has a wide range of strategies and suggestions to help parents support their children in math. Further information can be found at SD42.ca under the parent tab.
