Sep 29 - Oct 5, 2025
Sometimes, you just can't make things up! On Friday, our annual Terry Fox run assembly was underway when our neighbouring school reached out to our front office to inform us that a moose had beaten us out to the track and was galloping his way through our playground! When I arrived outside I spotted that same moose then taking a bit of a rest in the shade and then he continued to gallop his way throughout our field. In the spirit of safety, we informed our students that we were unable to proceed outdoors for our Terry Fox run. Our students did such a fantastic job that the shift in plan was the best to ensure safety for not only the young moose, but also us. We also then remained inside for an indoor recess. Around 1:00 p.m. it was confirmed with us that the moose had moved out of our area. How Canadian is that?!
Look at us go! In the picture you'll see how many PAWSitives we given out in the month of September! Bravo les Grizzlies!
Please join us at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 29 for our National Day for Truth and Reconciliation assembly in the gym. Thank you to Mme Boswell, Mme Grummett, and our student emcees for running this event for us!
Wednesday is Dress Like a Book Character today! We can't wait to see everyone's creative ideas!
Thursday, Oct. 2 we have yet another important assembly. Please join us at 9:00 a.m. for our first Monthly Assembly of the year. This assembly gives us the chance to celebrate the hard work of our students. Each month teachers pick students who are demonstrating: citizenship, French speaking and literacy skills on a consistent basis in their classes and throughout our school. We also have the chance during our assemblies to learn more about the Seven Sacred Teachings. Class 51 will be presenting this month. Finally, Mme Victoria will also have a musical performance for us. Class will be presenting this time. Please join us if you're able to!
Finally, our amazing Mme Victoria is so much more than our music teacher! Mme Victoria also helps our teachers and students out with some extra literacy support. She works with our grades 1, 2, and 3 teachers to support phonological sound recognition, decoding, and reading skills. She will begin this important work in our classes on Oct. 6.
Reminders: there is no school for students and staff on Tuesday, Sept. 30 as it is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and there is no school for students on Friday, Oct. 3 as all staff will be engaged in Professional Learning.
Have a great week everyone!
