Classroom News - Feb. 13

Happy Monday!

Ask your son/daughter about today's PEP RALLY - recognizing our boys and girls basketball teams!

For tomorrow's Adventure Ed. (Tuesday, Feb. 14), students are encouraged to bring a toboggan and dress for outdoor weather.  It should be a beautiful day to be outside!

Also, as tomorrow (Tuesday, Feb. 14) is Valentine's Day, feel free to dress in "Pink, Purple, Red" colors!

The official "last day of Term 2" is Wednesday, March 1.  As I reminded students, this will be the last day to hand-in any upcoming and OVERDUE Term 2 assignments.  Those students who fail to meet this deadline may earn an "IE" (Insufficient Evidence) on their Term 2 Report Card.
