We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends, and enjoyed getting out in the good weather. Thank you to all of you who volunteered to help during our recent Terry Fox run, and to those of you who donated to the Terry Fox Foundation. As a school we raised over $2000! There were several of us who took a pie in the face for the cause and Mr. Hume was once again duct taped to the wall at our assembly yesterday, much to the enjoyment of all of our students! Special thanks go to Mr. Severud and the amazing dance team for leading us in the warm up, to Mrs. White’s class for the wonderful kick off assembly and to Mme Chabot and Mrs. Wadden and their creative leadership students for organizing a fantastic Spirit Week leading up to the run!
We have a few staff changes to announce. We are very sad to say goodbye to Mrs. Adams, our Aboriginal support teacher, and Mrs. Steiger, one of our educational assistants, both of whom have been transferred to another school in the district. We must also say goodbye to Mme Beliveau, one of our Grade 6/7 FI teachers, who will be moving to Kelowna later this month. We will miss them all very much. For now we would like to welcome Mme Whitney, who has taken over for Mme Nielsen, and Mrs. Adair, who will be replacing Mrs. Adams.
Please have a good read of our newsletter and pass on pertinent info and reminders to your children. Our ongoing partnership as we work together for your children is so important. Our door is open, as always.
