Dear Parents,

This week our Elementary students got to enjoy a session with Bill Harley, a two-time Grammy award-winning artist and NPR commentator. Bill is a singer, storyteller, and author and all of our students had a wonderful time with him.

Photos of our students working with him are posted on our website photo gallery; password: raptors18.

Early Years – Grade 2 Art Exhibition
We also opened our EY - Grade 2 art exhibition this week in the FAC Atrium. All the great artwork from our youngest artists will remain up next week, so if you have not had the opportunity yet, please make sure you come by to check it out.

Faculty vs Students Soccer Game
Today, Mr Jack, inaugurated our first Faculty vs Students Soccer game. This was open to students in Grade 4 and 5, and was a lot of fun. Final score was 2-0 to the seven teachers who bravely played an outstanding game against four different student teams, who each played one quarter.  

Congratulations to Ms Lori, Mr Jack, Mr Elliot, Ms Jane, Ms Vanessa, Ms Keeley and Mr Marcus.

Feb Fling
Feb Fling is coming up and we hope you are all as excited as we are. The purpose of Feb Fling is to raise money for High School service clubs through a fair of booths for Middle and Elementary School. Last year we had a great turn out and were able to supply service clubs with lots of funds. We encourage you all to come to Feb Fling to support the high School service clubs. Tickets will be on sale all of next week in the mornings and after school, in front of the elementary and main office. Tickets will be priced at 400 rupees and will include one free meal and one raffle. Tickets can also be purchased on the day, for 500 rupees. Finally, people from outside the school can come as well, so if you have any friend who would like to come they can. We have a plethora of great booths this year so we hope you will all come.
