Hello Everyone and welcome to winter.  As mentioned in a previous post, please come dressed appropriately for the winter weather.  Everyone is expected to be out during the recess breaks.  Hiding in the stairwell, bathrooms, and change rooms is not allowed.

We have a busy week as we prepare for Halloween.  The pumpkin carving contest starts tomorrow and runs until the 31st.  You are expected to do all the carving at home and bring your finished creations in for voting.  We are also running the Gift Basket Raffle again this year.  The gift basket themes are as follows:  Sports, Movie & Candy, Mastermind package, and Spa package.  The tickets can be purchased during the recess breaks (there's one good reason to be inside during recess"), 4 tickets for $1.00.  All proceeds will be donated to the United Way.

A reminder to Umoja students - we have an extra rehearsal at 8:00 am tomorrow morning in preparation for our performance on Friday morning.

Also happening on Friday - hotdogs and pajamas.  Anyone wishing to order a hotdog or two . . . or five, needs to have their order into to SchoolCashOnline by Tuesday morning.  Feel free to wear your pajamas to school (Umoja students can change into pj's after our performance).

Have a great week everyone.

Good afternoon everyone.  Since the weather is getting colder, it's probably a good idea to wear more clothes . . . just a thought.  Hiding in the washrooms to avoid going out for recess is generally frowned upon.

Keep your eyes on the Homework updates and Important Dates for the month so that you don't miss anything.  If you are reading this blog on the mobile version, you probably can't see what I'm talking about.  Switch to the desktop version and you will find what you are looking for on the right hand side of the page.  It seems that everyday we have at least two students who are not prepared with homework done.  I hate to see anyone fall behind so please keep checking in and stay on top of your assignments.  If you are finding that you have too much homework, here's a thought for you . . . USE YOUR CLASS TIME BETTER!!!!!!!!  You know I always give enough of it.

That is all.  See you tomorrow.
