Dear Parents,
Welcome back from your Diwali break! I do hope
that everyone enjoyed the break. Please join us for the PTA Diwali celebration
beginning at 5:30 tomorrow afternoon here at school.
Speaking of celebrations, our Elementary
School and Community choirs will be performing at the Christmas Tree Lighting
Ceremony at the Hyatt Hotel on December 3rd. We are so excited for our elementary school
children for this will be their first performance outside school. There will be plenty of finger food and beverages on hand, so do not
worry about eating dinner before the ceremony. Today, Ms Shireen sent home a letter to parents who have children participating in the choir. This letter contains detailed information about the evening. If you did not receive this letter, please email Ms Shireen. Children who were not in school today will receive the letter on Monday.
Our very popular winter concerts are just a
few weeks away. This year, we will host two separate concerts in the new
auditorium. The Kindergarten-Grade 2 concert will be held on Wednesday, December
12th from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm and the Grade 3-5 concert will be held
the next day at the same time.
Looking ahead to January, the
Kindergarten-Grade 2 Sports Day will be held on Thursday, January 17th
while the Grade 3-5 Sports Day will be the following day. Each student will be
assigned to a team and will wear a team shirt provided by the school. We do ask that parents complete an order form indicating their child's shirt size. Size samples and
order forms will be on display in the Elementary Reception beginning Monday. If
you cannot come into the school, click here to download the form, fill it out and
have your child return it to Ms Prisca in the Elementary Reception Office. Alternatively, scan your completed form to Ms Prisca.
The new lunch menu for the period November
27th to February 1st can be viewed by clicking on the "Lunch Menu" tab to the right. To access the order form, please
click here .
Due to the visits from our Middle School Principal
candidates, the Curriculum Coffees scheduled for Tuesday, November 20th, have
been postponed. A new date for the coffees will be announced in the near
future. Also,
since there is no school next Friday, my next Principal’s Notes will be
published on Friday, November 30th. Until then, Happy Thanksgiving
and enjoy your long weekend.
Yours truly,
Kevin Hall
Elementary School Principal
