Classroom News - Nov. 6

As we wrap-up our first official week of online learning, I want to pass along a BIG "high five" to everyone for an AWESOME week.  Mrs. Erhardt and I are VERY proud of everyone!

As I said in the beginning of this journey, there are some obvious negatives about being away school and each other.  However, I think after this week, everyone would agree that there are a lot of positives too!  Keep up the GREAT WORK!

Here were some important items that came through our MC Knoll "Morning Announcements" this week, including:

- We have extended the deadline for returning your child’s picture orders.  Please return your orders by Monday, November 16th.  We will also be booking another Picture Retake Day - to be determined at a later date.
- Attached to the morning announcements is an SCC clothing fundraiser.  Deadline for ordering is Monday November 23rd.  Copies will also be sent home with youngest in the family.
- Ms. Knight is looking for students to design a cover page for the yearbook.  If you are interested, please submit your design to Ms. Knight by Friday, November 20th.  You should include the following:  M.C. Knoll School or Knights, 2020-2021, our school colours, relevant information that represents MCK.  Be creative!
- Remembrance Day long weekend is coming up next week.  There will be NO SCHOOL on Wednesday, November 11, Thursday, November 12 and Friday, November 13.  Students will return to school on Monday, November 16, which will be a Day 3.

I will look to email everyone the next week's Daily Agenda - Monday, Nov. 9 - sometime this weekend.  You can always refer to the Week-at-a-Glance document for a preview of what's to come!

Have a wonderful weekend!
