Principals Message
We continue to focus on "bucket-filling" and kindness, which are linked to our school beliefs. Students who are “caught being kind” receive Kindness Tickets, which are read on the announcements and then posted on the bulletin board. 48 students received Kindness Tickets last month, and this month there will be many more!
This year we started a student school jobs program. It al-lows our students to have positive experiences as leaders and contributors to our school. I thank the many students who have school jobs, which helps our school run smoothly. I appreciate that they are always willing to lend a helping hand!

Terry’s goal was to earn $1 for every Canadian, and our goal
was to raise $1 for each student in our school. We passed
our goal, raising $205 for the Terry Fox Foundation. Thank
you for your support and thank you to the PAC who helped
by making the Terry Fox Dogs.
On September 29th the students had the chance to enjoy our
first performing arts performance by Story Theatre Compa-
ny called “Anansi’s Gift of Stories”. The trio kept us enter-
tained and laughing with their energetic performance. Our
next performance is Friday, November 6 at 9 a.m., by Jacky
Essombe, with the theme being “Singing Africa!”
