Remembrance Day is on Wednesday, November 11th, so there will be no school that day. Please take a moment to talk with your child about why we celebrate Remembrance Day, and about what and who we are remembering. Don't forget the Remembrance Day Service in the Great Hall at 10:30 am on November 11th.
We would like to welcome a new student to our class, Taylor Jacquard. She has just moved here from Nova Scotia.
Happy Birthday to Isabella on November 12th!
