Week at a Glance (March 31- April 4)

We kicked off our week off with St. Patrick's Day- wear green day! The school was full of green- green clothes, hats, tattoos and more! Classes were buzzing with fun educational learning from math lessons to art projects.

We also continued to focus on our school value of COLLABORATION, where we encouraged teamwork, shared problem-solving, and supporting one another. Classes worked on a Paper Chain of Collaboration where students wrote their name on a strip of paper when they demonstrated collaboration. The chains started to grow in the hallways, showing how student have been working together. What an amazing school community we are a part of!

Family Movie Night
We are excited to announce that our Read-a-thon reward of a movie night is coming soon! On Friday, April 11 @ 6:30 p.m., FAHHE is hosting The Garfield Movie in our school gym. Families can bring blankets, sleeping bags, pillows to snuggle up, eat snacks and enjoy the big screen. It will be a great night, and we look forward to seeing you there! 

Grade 6 Badminton Tryouts
On Thursday, April 3 @ 12:02 p.m. (lunch recess), there will be tryouts for any Grade 6 students interested in trying badminton. For those who make the team, there will be a tournament on April 26 @ SCA Secondary School. More information will be given out at tryouts. Thank you to Chelsea Orlecki for volunteering to coach this!
