Random Acts of Kindness!
February is upon us and the groundhog says spring will be coming early…did winter ever really arrive? The Leadership Team was sorry to have to postpone the Winter Playday – hopefully if we get a good snowfall we can hold the event with a bit of notice. We are focusing on ‘Random Acts of Kindness’ (RAK) throughout this month – students can nominate someone who they noticed doing a kind act and they will be recognized. Let’s all pay it forward this month and every month! A simple smile goes a long way to make someone’s day!
Term 1 Report Cards will be coming home on February 17th. Please contact your child’s teacher if you would like to discuss the report further or if you have any questions. February also has a number of great events planned for students including; 100′s Day activities, Red and White Day to celebrate Valentine’s Day on the 14th, and the Leadership Team is planning the annual ‘Semi Formal’ dance on February 17th. Students from gr. 5 – 8 are encouraged to dress in their finest and we will be having a photo booth for charity as one of the dance events.
We are excited to be hosting “Rocks and Rings”, a one day curling workshop in our gym on February 24th. Also, the Eco Team is promoting energy saving by having ‘Sweater Day’ on Feb.9th – the thermostat will be turned down 1 degree so students are to bundle up and wear a sweater! Don’t forget to wear pink on February 29th to show you support ‘Anti-bullying’ in Simcoe County! Cross Country Skiing (when it’s not too icy), Boys’ Basketball and Girls’ Volleyball are all continuing this month.
Thanks to Allison Walker and Nicole Pagliaro, who are helping me organize and prepare for our first ‘Literacy Brigade’ volunteer reading program to support students from gr. 1 – 3. We hope to have this up and running by the end of the month!
