Principal Perspective
Although the weather doesn’t seem to want to decide which season it is, it looks like spring is around the corner! The temperatures have been milder this winter and the students continue to enjoy the outdoors during recess break. This week the students had a special hot chocolate treat after recess! Please tune in to our Facebook page to keep updated on daily school activities.
Students continue learning many new things at school. As our second term is now underway, we encourage all students to attend school regularly, as they are building a foundation for reading and mathematics which will help them throughout their education journey. We continue with our Connected North Sessions and students are enjoying their daily Body Breaks throughout the day. NWO food bags continue to be sent home, and we are thankful for the funding from the NWHU Student Nutrition Program.
Students have been busy this month participating in various cultural activities and events. Students participated in Black History Month activities, spent time with Anne Marie Armstrong from Sunset Metis learning about the Metis culture and had fun learning some jigging and spooning as well as their field trip to Kay-Nah-Chi-Wah-Nung where they experienced many Indigenous cultural activities.
We celebrated our Kindergarten Registration on February 29, and we look forward to the new students attending our Kindergarten Play Day later this year. Report cards were sent home on February 12 and Individual Education Plans will be sent home on March 7. If you have any questions about report cards or Individual Education Plans, please contact your child’s teacher.
We are excited to welcome Alesia Langlais as our new ASW worker, as we sadly say goodbye to Mrs. Zappitelli as she goes off on maternity leave.
We are all looking forward to a restful and relaxing week during the Winter Break, March 11-15 as well as celebrating the Easter Holiday at the end of the month.
Enjoy your Holidays, everyone.
Mr. Yahnishchak, Mrs.Osadchuk & Mrs. Beckett
