SKATING
Tomorrow afternoon is our first skate at McArthur Island arena.   All students need to pack a lunch tomorrow as we leave the school at 12:30 pm, taking the bus to the rink.

The bus requires that skates have guards or be packed in cloth bags.  Please no plastic bags!!  We also must transport hockey sticks to the arena.  If you are able to help us take the sticks, please stop by the class anytime before we leave.  We appreciate your help.  :-)

It is always good to be prepared.  Students gear should include:  Skates, helmet, no-slip pants (no splash pants as the make it difficult to get up from the ice), longer socks, mitts/gloves, and a warm outer jacket as well as lighter jacket.

We usually reserve a portion of the ice for a friendly hockey game.  Students participating should wear a face mask if they have one, as well as a neck-guard, although our game should be FRIENDLY!!

Thanks to parents who are joining us!  We look forward to seeing you there, or skating with you.  Parents who skate are asked to wear helmets, whenever possible.

CONSTABLE WINKLES
Today all primary students spent time with our school liaison, Constable Winkles.  Constable Winkles discussed with the students strategies to assist with dealing with bullying and peer victimization through the WITS PROGRAM and story telling.   

Please ask your child what they remember from the story of Walrus and the WITS strategies.  If you would like further information about the WITS program, please check out the web site: www.witsprogram.ca, or ask for a pamphlet from the school.

Reminders:
1.  Nov. 27 - Assembly - 1:00 pm -  All welcome!

Have a good week.
