October 2023

Let's dive into October. This month was jammed packed with special events and activities. There was the pool opening ceremony, we started the soccer program, parents in the classroom day and our Color Wars activities. Enjoy reliving some of these great moments at P224Q. 😀.

On October 20th, during our first Family Fun Night, P224Q held a ribbon cutting ceremony for the re-opening of our pool. Many families came to the event and enjoyed, food, crafts and of course swimming. We even had an outdoor movie as part of our ceremony.

On October 13th, site 186 got their first soccer training of the new school year with SoccerStars. SoccerStars is great program that helps to develop coordination skills, promotes physical fitness, and teamwork, builds confidence and of course provides a whole lot of fun. We are very grateful for the partnership we have with SoccerStars to help enrich the lives of our students.

We had our second Parents in the Classroom event on October 17th. Parents were invited to the classroom or via Zoom link to watch and participate in their child's lesson. Our Next Parents in the Classroom will be on November 15th. See you then. 😀

Here we see Keith and his mother working on a lesson together at 26.
