Classroom News - Oct. 27

Our 7M class will be enjoying some Halloween Festivities this Friday, Oct. 29.  Students are encouraged to dress-up (or wear Halloween colors).  Our school will be providing FREE pizza for our Gr. 7 and Gr. 8 students, compliments of Red Swan Pizza.  Students can also bring some extra individual snacks to enjoy - in addition to the pizza.  Our plan is to enjoy the food, a movie and hopefully have some Phys. Ed time in the gym...to burn off the extra sugars! 

Our SLC has decided to do a costume contest and a virtual Halloween parade.  For the contest, there will be a prize for 1st, 2nd and 3rd in K-2, 3-5 and 6-8.  Our parade will be on Zoom and you can watch from the comforts of home.  Start time will be at 2:30 p.m.  A member of our SLC will come and get your class when it is your turn. We will start with the Kindergartens and work our way up.
