September 15th Update


Yay! We made it through the first official 5 day school week of the year!

Students will probably be a little extra tired this weekend, so much learning to absorb this week.

This week, students began to explore data collection through pictographs, began their exploration of the diverse landscapes in Alberta and continued to build their writing brains back up from the summer. Students also had their first library visit of the year, pease be sure if your student likes to bring their school books home that they come back every Tuesday (our library day) to be renewed and/or exchanged. 

Upcoming dates:
- School Pictures Tuesday September 19th
- September 21st 4:00-7:30pm Meet the Teacher
- September 22nd No School for Students (NID)

- September 27th Terry Fox Run

One of the goals of observing the life of Terry Fox and participating in this Canada-wide event is to raise money for the Terry Fox Foundation.  The run demonstrates generosity and determination of those who participate in it.  ‘Toonies for Terry’ will be collected in student classrooms during the week of September 20-27th, as well donations are accepted on-line at  https://schools.terryfox.ca/EthelMJohnson 

 

On the day of our run, please remember to dress for the weather, wear comfortable running shoes and each student is encouraged to wear their color groups color. Also, a big thank you to The School Council who kindly donated a healthy snack for the students after our Terry Fox Run! 



Be kind to yourselves this weekend and rest well!
