PINK Shirt Day

This Wednesday is Pink Shirt Day! We wear pink shirts to bring awareness to our efforts to STOP BULLYING! We had a discussion today about the importance of this day and the students were very aware and ready to discuss how we can help. Please do your best to send your child to school in a pink shirt on Wednesday! Thanks!

 

 

Dr. Seuss Day!

This Friday we will be celebrating Dr.Seuss Birthday and all of the fun he has brought to our reading! We ask that the children do the best they can to wear STRIPES! We will be doing reading and writing activities and enjoying all of the Dr.Seuss books we can find!

 

 

 

This week our school counselor - Mrs. Kitigawa and our family connections liason - Mrs. Savage will begin working with all Grade 2's. Their focus over the next few months will be creating and fostering positive friendships.

100 Day and Valentine's Day!

We are ready for a busy and fun week!

 

Thursday is Valentine's Day. Please have your child dressed in RED for our spirit assembly. We will have our little party in the afternoon after our assembly and open up our Valentines.

100 Day on Friday!

 

 

Please remember to send your child with thier collection of 100 simple and secret items! I will send home a brown bag that your child can put their items into.

It would also be a great idea to have your child wear cool and comfortable clothes to school that day. 200+ children in the gym gets a little warm! Proper running shoes would also be great! Thanks!

We are asking students to wear their MMH shirts on Wednesday for our assembly at 10:30 am to close off our Ivan reading project.  The grade 2’s will be singing a song on friendship if you’d like to attend.  We are also encouraging students to wear appropriate clothing for a winter walk in the afternoon.  It will be called a GORILLA walk in honour of our book project on Ivan.  We would like students to wear furry animal hats, etc. if they have them.  If they don’t that’s ok!  Parents are welcome at 10:30 am on February 6^th for the assembly, 12:45 pm for the walk, and anytime throughout the day on Feb. 6 and 7 to enjoy the Ivan-inspired art in the hallways of our school.  Thanks for reading!
