Hi Everyone,

Uniforms:  Since we have had pretty chilly temperatures lately, full dress uniform has been cancelled tomorrow.  Everyone should be dressing very warmly these days.  Please send toques, gloves, and warm coats along with your kids.  Thanks so much!

Genius Hour: Yesterday, the grade 4 and 6 classes had a kick-off assembly to launch our new class called ‘Genius Hour’.  We, along with Mr. Hancock’s class, are going to be devoting one hour every Wednesday afternoon to let the students explore topics that they are passionate and curious about.  We are very excited to see what kinds of things they want to learn about and share with the class.  A newsletter went home  yesterday to explain it in more detail.  If that newsletter didn’t find its way home, I’ll attach it on here below for you to see.  We are looking for parent volunteers that would be able to help us with guiding the students in their projects.  If you are available on Wednesday afternoons from 2-3pm, we would love your help.  Your help once a month or every other week would be greatly appreciated.
