Hi All,

This Week:

Tuesday – Sherwood Career Cruising for Grade 8

Thursday – 9:15 Award Assembly

Friday – PA Day School Closed to Students

  • PA Day March 1 will be dedicated to our three priorities:
    • Positive Culture and Well Being for All
    • Grade 1 Reading
    • Math in the Junior Grades

Dogs are wonderful pets that people and families enjoy.  One special quality is that we have to walk them.  This is great exercise for you and your pet!  What is even better is that when you, your child and your dog are walking to school, you are modelling walking to school versus driving your car.  This is very helpful with reducing car congestion at the beginning and end of the school day.

Some people have had different experiences with dogs as compared to yourself.  We all want to have a welcoming and safe school community for all.  To respect one another, if you choose to walk your dog to school at the beginning or end of the school day, when you arrive at the school, walk your dog in the park versus the asphalt playground.  Also please pick up your dog waste.

Together we can have a welcoming for community for all.

Our Dance-a-Thon took place today.  Our students had a wonderful time dancing the day away.  We are very thankful to our volunteers who made the gym look festive!!!
