Recently there has been an especially high number of students who are ill at school.  We have been encouraging students to wash their hands frequently and practice good hygiene practices, such as coughing and sneezing into their elbow instead of their hands.  If your child is running a fever, throwing up, coughing or sneezing a lot please show consideration for others by keeping him/her at home until they are better.  This helps prevent colds and flus from spreading through the entire class. 

Highlights

Today we had a special visit from Gulliver the skunk and the Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation. They came to teach us about animal adaptations and how we can help care for the local wild creatures.
