October 21-25

It was a short week in Grade One and the students were really excited to visit the computer lab for the first time this year!  We are very thankful for our Grade 4 book buddies from Mr. Tuck's class for their help to log on to the computer for the first time!  

Information Items
LOST AND FOUND
-Our caretakers have moved our lost and found items to a table in front of the library for the time being.  The tables are full of items from jackets to water bottles.  If your child has misplaced something, please take a look or write a note a note in your child's agenda and I can try to help them look for it. 
Also, just a reminder to label your child's belongings with with their name to help them keep track of their things.  Thanks!
