Third graders are IMPRESSIVE!

Dear Parents and Students,

I am writing this blog letter with a song in my heart!  A song with a happy tune!  I am extremely impressed with the Third Graders, for presenting their Science Assignments so well on Thursday!  Thank you to all the parents who came.  It was great to have an audience.  I posted all the Gr.3’s PowerPoint presentations and also the video recordings (thanks to Mr. Harris) on our blog yesterday.  Please have a look.  There is no doubt that they all were stars!!!

Also thank you to all the parents for attending the Parent-Teacher Conferences this week.  It was great seeing you all.  I also want to thank all of you for completing and sending back the Thanksgiving list.  It is definitely going to be a memorable event.  Thank you for your generosity.

Next week is Awareness Week!  We want our school to be bullying-free and that is the main reason behind it.  The week is planned to be filled with lots of fun and learning how to deal with bullying.  I am very excited about it!  Let’s take a stand, and lend a hand!!!  Students, be sure to be dressed in all blue on Wednesday.  Blue will show that we are against bullying.
