All students are expected to come to school dressed appropriately to go outside during recess. It is still cold outside, and there is snow in our schoolyard.

During the lunch hour, the microwaves in the kitchen are used by the lunch supervisors to microwave lunches for students who forgot their lunch, or for emergency usage. The microwaves are not located in the cafeteria. It is impossible for the lunch supervisors to heat up everybodies lunch in a timely matter, therefore please do not send a lunch that needs to be heated.

On April 1st, we will be having our monthly assembly. We will be celebrating students who demonstrated Sportsmanship throughout the month of March. We will also be introducing them to the April character trait, Self-Control.

Every Wednesday, students can purchase TCBY frozen yogurt/sorbet or an ice cream sandwich.

Should your children wish to purchase frozen yogurt or sorbet, please send them to school with $3.00. Different flavours will be available.

Should your child wish to purchase an ice cream sandwich, please send them to school with $2.00.

The PPO is still looking for volunteers to help with various upcoming activities.

End-of-year events in particular will require a lot of support.

If you have a bit of time and would like to get involved, please don’t hesitate to contact PPO, to add your name to the list.

Every helping hand truly makes a difference!

Thank you to all the families who supported the Félix & Norton cookie dough fundraiser!

Thanks to your generosity, we raised over $4,000 to support school activities.

Cookie dough orders will be available for pickup on Wednesday, March 26, between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., at the daycare entrance.

Since it is a frozen product, it is very important that everyone who placed an order picks it up during that time.

Once again, thank you for the amazing participation in our PIZZA DAY lunches!

It’s always a huge hit, and we love seeing the students enjoy this special lunchtime treat.

Here are the next three scheduled PIZZA DAYS (Thursdays):

• Thursday, April 17

• Thursday, May 15

• Thursday, June 12

To stay up to date on all school activities, including those organized by the PPO, we invite you to follow the school’s official Facebook page.

That’s where we post all important news, updates, and reminders.

It’s the best way to make sure you don’t miss anything!
