Students enjoyed the Halloween Parade and Carnival on Monday, October 31st. A big thank you goes out to Ms. Hoyle for taking the lead for this special event. The Grade 5 / 6 class did a wonderful job of organizing and running the different stations. Our celebration included all of our kindergarten students when kindergarten was switched to Monday from Tuesday. It is great fun for everyone to see each other dressed in their Halloween best and all students really enjoyed this type of Halloween Celebration.
The Remembrance Day service was held at 10:00 am on Thursday, November 10th. Thank you to Mrs. Winfield, who took the lead on this assembly. Everyone, all staff and students, did such a wonderful job in recognizing those individuals, past and present, who have served our country so well and with such dignity. Our students take great pride and honour in planning, decorating and presenting for this service. All classes contributed beautiful art work and made wreaths for the wreath laying ceremony. We greatly appreciate the address by Retired Master Corporal Ken Harris who represented the Royal Canadian Legion, Mayor Ivor McCorquindale and Neil Howk who escorted the students during the wreath laying ceremony. Each class did a presentation of some type. Kindergarten presented the poem, Poppy. The Grade 1 / 2 class presented a couple of poems Little Poppy and Remembrance Day. The Grade 3 / 4 class presented the poems, Freedom Road and What Heroes Gave. The Grade 5/6 class did the reading of Flanders Fields and sang the song Ode to Peace. Also, thank you to Flynn Roberts for playing March by Robin Adair on his chanter.
Many parents and community members also attended the service and expressed their appreciation for the wonderful job the students and staff did.
