September 19, 2011

Word of the day: ecstatic

A note regarding roadwork on Elm Street was sent home today for your information.

The first graders have their first spelling list in their agendas! Please practise the words with them. We'll have a spelling quiz on Friday. Thanks.

Rmember that this Thursday the second graders will be going on a walking field trip to the fairy tree and the first graders will be going to the United Church thrift shop to purchase scarecrow clothing.

Pledge forms for the Terry Fox run were sent home today. If you decide not to have your child collect pledges, please return the form to the school. The entire school will be participating in our own version of the Terry Fox Run on Friday September 30. (Pledge forms should be in prior to the run - thanks.) Parents are welcome to join us - we'll be running one kilometer (once around the block). It'll be a great way for the students to realise how far Terry ran each day of his Marathon of Hope: this amazing Canadian hero ran a full marathon every day of his campaign. So if we could just manage to run around our block 41 more times ....
