Dear Vincent Massey Students and Families,
The crisp fall air is here! Saskatchewan mornings can be chilly, and we don’t know if there will be rain, shine, or snow. Please help your child dress for the changing weather by sending warm layers each day so they can stay cozy and ready for outdoor play.
Get ready for some spooky fun—our Halloween Dance is happening on Thursday, October 29th from 5:30–7:00 p.m.! Students are invited to come with their families for music, dancing, and treats. Costumes are welcome, but please make sure they are school-appropriate, easy to move in, and safe for all students.
⚠️ Please note: No toy weapons are allowed or full face masks please
Now that we’re settling into the school year, it’s the perfect time to build good routines. Going to bed on time, waking up a little earlier, and arriving at school on schedule help students start the day with energy and confidence. A positive attitude each morning sets the tone for great learning and fun with friends!
We can’t wait to see everyone’s smiling faces—and creative costumes—at the dance!
Mrs. Tomporowski and Ms. Fernie

Band News - Mrs. Ginter
Band is off to a great start this year! Mrs. Ginter and the Grade 5 students were able to participate in the Sask Rivers Beginner Band Clinic last September 28th. This was a wonderful opportunity for students to learn the basics of instrument assembly, care, and how to play the first few notes on their instrument from expert instructors!
