Thank you to everyone who come out to support our second Movie Night this school year.  We were able to raise almost $3000!  A big thank you goes out to all of the volunteers, especially members of our PFA.  Many hands make light work!  And a special thank you goes out to Mrs. Nicola Humphreys for all of her work and leadership.  

An email was sent home to parents with the information to order the next set of Hot Lunch for your child, which will run on March 7th & March 28th.  If you did not receive this email, please check your “spam” or “junk” folders.  Please note that the deadline for ordering is the end of the school day on Tuesday, February 28th.

VOLUNTEER NEEDED: The PFA needs one volunteer on Thursday, March 2 to help pick up blueberries at 1:45pm (about 5 mins away from school) and handout after school, until about 2:45pm.  Please contact Nicola Humphreys at nicolawithers@hotmail.com if you can help.  This will count towards your fundraiser volunteer hours. 

Spring Break – March 11th – 26th:

• please note that the last day of school before Spring Break will be Friday, March 10th.  This will be a full day of school.  School will then reopen on Monday, March 27th

We look forward to seeing you at the Annual General Meeting on March 1st where you will be able to pick up your re-registration package.  If you are unable to make it, it will be sent home with your oldest child in the school.  The completed Re-Registration Package needs to be returned to the school no later than March 9th in order to pay the reduced registration fee, and guarantee your child’s spot in the school for next year.  All parents will receive an email with the link to sign up for a time to return your Re-Registration Package to the school, either on March 6th or 7th.  

Please save Wednesday, May 10th 1pm for our Mother’s Day Tea.  We invite all Moms, Grandmas, Nanas, Omas and friends of the school to attend this special event.  We have secured a special guest speaker to talk about the important role of motherhood.  We will have tea, songs sung by our primary classes and even a Mother’s Day Photo Op.  More details to come.

A reminder that our Walkathon date has changed to Friday, May 5th.  Please save this date.  We will need LOTS of parent volunteers.  Our theme will be SUPERHEROES!  Students, staff and parents are encouraged to dress up as their favourite Superhero for the Walkathon.

Also, we are beginning to collect prizes and donations for the Walkathon.  If you would like to donate a prize, please bring it to the office or email the office.  Thank you in advance for all of your help with this important fundraiser!
