Dear Families,
Our "Dress as Your Favourite Character Day" was a huge success: we don't know who was more enthusiastic, the staff or the students! We have included a few of the many photos for you to enjoy....stay tuned: next week we will have a special "Forest of Reading" edition of the Weekly Update complete with the names of our picks for most creative costumes this year, and pictures of everyone!
We are so excited for our Scholastic Virtual Book Fair to begin! The Book Fair will take place from March 15th to March 21st, and we know that students will be excited to view all of the wonderful titles, order some new books, or let their teachers know which books they feel should be ordered for our library for all to enjoy! There is detailed information about the Virtual Book Fair provided below. Un grand merci, Mme Clarke :)
A reminder that we plan to continue keep everyone's positive energy flowing with "Fake March Break" next week! The School Spirit Days include:
Monday, March 15th: PJ and "Drop Everything and Read" Day (to kick off our Virtual Book Fair Week -- wear your favourite jammies, but please leave the stuffies at home!)
Tuesday, March 16th: Spy Day (staff have a plan to include some opportunities for students to crack hidden codes and discover secret messages...we are pretty excited about this one!)
Wednesday, March 17th: St. Patrick's Day
Thursday, March 18th: Inside Out & Backwards Day (staff are planning to focus on games and arts projects to make this a creative and fun day!)
Friday, March 19th: Hawk Spirit and Movie Day
Un grand merci à Mme Creighton, Ms. Kivistik et les elèves de la 6ième année pour avoir organisé cette semaine d'esprit!
A reminder that all students must complete the COVID Self Screener each morning, and if any symptoms are present must stay home (siblings too) and follow Public Health direction. Detailed information can be found on the LDSB website: https://www.limestone.on.ca/news/what_s_new/ministry_revises_c_o_v_i_d-19_screening_tool
Have a fantastic weekend, Hawks!
Mme Peart and Mrs. Davey
