Our Winter Carnival/L'Hiver de Folie was a lot of fun. Thank you to all of the volunteers and the organizing committee. We had a wonderful day playing different games and activities outside and in the school.
This week, the students tried various Indigenous Games in PE. Some were quite challenging and were a lot of fun.

Grade 3 and 4 floor hockey has started practicing. If your child expressed interest in playing, a permission form has been sent to you via email. Girls practice Tuesdays and Thursdays at lunch. Boys practice Wednesdays at lunch and Thursdays after school until 4:10pm.

CHARACTER ED ASSEMBLIES
This past month, we discussed peer conflict and bullying with our grade level assemblies. We also talked about positive ways to resolve conflict and how to show kindness to others.
COVID-19 VIRUS
At school, we continue to promote good hygiene with safe coughing and hand washing. We encourage students to cough into their elbow and wash their hands very well on a regular basis. Our custodians continue to clean our classrooms, hallways, and washrooms with disinfectant on a regular basis. We did send out information this week about this issue.
Often it is tough to know when to talk with kids about issues like this and when to be concerned. We want to help students understand and not be misinformed. We do not want them to spread misinformation and create more anxiety for themselves and others. When appropriate or needed, we do have conversations to help alleviate anxiety and develop better understandings. If your child is asking questions, provide some accurate information and focus on prevention. Here is a comic that may help students understand.
If your child is feeling ill, follow the appropriate protocols and perhaps keep them at home, if they have similar symptoms.
LOST AND FOUND
Our lost and found is filling up again. We have set it out in our main street area. Please take a look and retrieve anything that was lost.
