Highlights
Today we interviewed Ryan, Peyton, Abdullah,Skye and Joseph in Mrs. Diduch's class. We are learning so much about Each other. In both Ms. Bain's and Mrs. Diduch's class we have worked on heart maps. These are helping us learn that writers write about what they know and love!

Homework
Graphemes: practice printing and sounding the following graphemes: a, c. Please check your child's purple folder for the information regarding homework expectations.  Specific questions about homework expectations will be addressed at the Parent Information Night this Thursday night.

Terry Fox Run
This year our school will be participating in the Terry Fox run in late September. We will be continuing with our Toonies for Terry fundraising campaign, which benefits cancer research. You and your family can make a donation in any amount online by clicking here . Students are also encouraged to bring in their donations to their classroom teachers. Our goal as a school community is to raise $5, 000.00.  If we meet our goal Mr. Fen-Mac will shave his head and Miss Laslo cut her hair in support of the Terry Fox Foundation. Let’s start fundraising!
