This is Fire Prevention Week! We'll have a presentation from the fire department later this week, but if you'd like to learn more about fire prevention, there will be an Open House at the fire hall this evening from 6:30 - 8:00. There are lots of activities planned for the Open House; everyone hwo attends always has a good time!

The first graders are bringing home the new spelling list family of "ot" words this week. Have fun practicing!

Thanks to everyone who sent veggies for our stone soup! It was pretty deeelicious! We managed to write a spelling test, finish a Thanksgiving Day booklet (check agenda pockets), and make a turkey dinner bell this morning, as well as enjoy our pre-Thanksgiving feast! Here's a photo of our little cooks ringing their bells.

Have a great Thanksgiving weekend, everyone!

First graders, remember that you will have a spelling test tomorrow, and that you should bring a SMALL amount of cut-up veggies for our stone soup tomorrow.

Book orders - for first and second grade - are due tomorrow morning.

Please remember that there will be a noon dismissal tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

We had a very informative, interesting presentation in the gym this morning, from the Aquavan 150 staff. I learned that sea stars can move their stomachs outside their bodies to eat, then they tuck their tummies back into their bodies. Cool! If you'd like to visit the Aquavan, it'll be at Maligne Lake tomorrow from 11:00 - 4:00, at the Old Fire Hall on October 7, from 11:00 - 4:00, and at the Columbia Icefields on October 8, again from 11:00 - 4:00.

Here's yet another octopus video - one of an octopus escaping from a jar.
