Happy Birthday to Benjamin, who celebrated his 7th birthday today!  What a great way to start our year together.   We hope that you had an excellent day today, Benjamin!

Assembly Performance
Today the Grade 2 class performed a song at our first assembly of the year!  The song that the students performed included a Swahili word of encouragement that roughly means "Let's do it!".  Thanks to the class for kick starting our year in such a positive way!   Kudos goes out the Mrs. MacPherson who enabled this presentation with limited preparation time!

Terry Fox Fundraiser
Our school has set a goal to fund raise $1 200.00 towards cancer research through the Terry Fox run.  This run will take place next Friday at 9:30 am.  Any donation is greatly appreciated, with donations of $20 or more being eligible for a tax donation.  Please make any cheques payable to the Terry Fox Foundation.
