Hi Parents,

   We'll the Christmas season is in full swing here at school! I'll do my best to give you prior notice about upcoming special events or things happening around the school. My apologizes if I miss something!


Over the past week we've had some playground issues arise, which is very typical for this time of year and also for their social development. In Grade Three, kids are becoming more aware of social rules. They begin to see that not everything is black and white in the world, and yet at the same time they long for justice and fairness. I will do my best to deal with these issues as they arise. I would also employ you to talk with your child as well. I always find it quite helpful to talk about my own experience in Elementary school. Times when my friends and I didn't always get along or when I had to apologize for something I did or said. Thank you for your partnership on this matter!


The Christmas Concert is this Tuesday, and we're all VERY excited about it! Performances will be at 1:30 and 6:00 pm. Students need to be in their FULL Winter uniform. The Grade Three class will be in the Elementary choir and some of our students will be reading selected bible verses. I've sent the verses home on Friday to be practiced over the weekend. THEY DO NOT HAVE TO MEMORIZE THEM.

BOYS: Tie, black shoes, grey pants, white shirt, and sweater
