All students may wear a costume to school. Costumes must be school appropriate-no gory, scary, or inappropriate costumes will be permitted. If your child prefers not to wear a costume, he or she may dress in orange and black.
-
Activities will be planned throughout the day. Students will remain with their class, keeping cohorts together during activities. It will not be a whole school event as it has been in the past.
-
Our everyday health and safety guidelines will be followed during this event. Any snacks or drinks provided will be store-bought and individually pre-packaged. Students will collect candy and trinkets throughout the day. Teachers typically allow students to eat one or two pieces of candy, and the rest is sent home. If you would prefer your child not partake in the snacks provided, please email your child's teacher and send in separate snacks for your child for this day.
-
If your child is remote learning during the 2nd nine weeks, we will have a packet for them so he or she can partake in activities as well. Packets may be picked up on Wednesday, 10/28 or Thursday, 10/29 during school hours (8am-3pm). If you need to pick up after that, after school is until 6pm, but please reach out to us and let us know if you are coming during after school care hours.

Our Outdoor Fitness Area is Almost Done!
The equipment and artificial turf have been installed! We also used the leftover turf outside our Primary classroom. Everyone is so excited to get out there and play! A huge thank you to the Chartrand Family for making this dream a reality!

Ms. Hurst’s JH2 Science class learned about plant and animal cell similarities and differences. Each student decorated a graham cracker for a plant cell and a jumbo sugar cookie for an animal cell. After using various candies that resembled the specific parts of each cell, students ate their “edible” cells. It was really “sweet”!
