We had a very fun week at school! In our class, we are talking about Fall, and working wth objects we found in nature in order to experience the changes that take place in Autumn. Our reading, centre time, and inquiry explorations have been focused on the changes that we see in Fall.
As the weather is changing, please ensure students are coming to school dressed prepared for the weather. As a reminder, please make sure you are using crosswalks when walking to school as we need to ensure safety for our students outside of school.
Please see some information below regarding the next week of school. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Orange Shirt Day
We will be recognizing Orange Shirt Day on Thursday October 3, 2019. This will be an opportunity for students and staff to learn about the legacy of the residential schools, as well as indigenous ways of knowing. Staff will lead students through a variety of learning activities that will engage students in conversations about belonging, community, and inclusion. A powerful way to do this is through the indigenous pedagogy of circle. Circle defines inclusion, In the circle we are all equal. No one is above, no one is below. No one is in front, no one is behind. The Sacred Circle is designed to create unity. As a way to recognize this very important day, staff and students are encouraged to wear orange. This represents our continued commitment to the Truth and Reconciliation Act as well as honoring the survivors of residential schools.
Terry Fox Run
Our Terry Fox run will take place on Wednesday October 2 from 2:00pm-2:45pm. Students will gather for a short assembly, followed by a 20min Terry Fox run on the path close to the Marlborough Park Community Center. On the day of the run, students are encouraged to bring a Toonie for Terry to show their support and help raise money for cancer research.
