As we approach the final week of school before our much-anticipated Spring Break, I wanted to share some important reminders and exciting events happening in our classroom!

Important Dates:

• Tuesday: Science projects are due! Students may be bringing their projects home today to finalize them, so please check in with them to ensure they have everything they need.
• Presentations: Throughout the rest of the week, students will present their science projects. We can’t wait to see their hard work come to life!
• Wednesday: It’s “O Canada” dress-up day! Students are encouraged to wear red, white, or showcase a maple leaf in their attire.
• Friday: Interim reports will be sent home. Please look out for these updates on your child’s progress.  We will have an early dismissal at 11:30 AM.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generosity, contributions, and prayers for Boston and his family. Thanks to your kindness, each of the three boys and their mom received a beautiful basket filled with wonderful activities to enjoy. Your thoughtfulness and support mean so much, and I am truly grateful for the way our community comes together to care for one another.

A special thank you to the amazing moms who organized everything—you made this possible, and your kindness and hard work are truly appreciated!

Our mission’s team is also leaving to Guatemala this day- let’s keep lifting them up in our prayers. Here a Facebook link, if you want to follow them: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3812515708961249

As a reminder, Spring Break will be from March 15th to March 30th. I wish you and your family an amazing break filled with joy and relaxation!

See you on Monday, March 31st!

I wanted to send a quick reminder on behalf of your child as they continue working on their science project this week.

Students have until the end of this week to complete their projects in class, with presentations scheduled for next week. To ensure they have everything they need to do their best work, please remind your child to bring any remaining supplies or materials required for their project.

Thank you for your support! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

Join us for an exciting Math Mayhem event on March 4th from 6:30 to 8:00 PM, where families can enjoy a night filled with fun math games hosted by our amazing Grade 10-12 students! This is a fantastic opportunity to win awesome prizes while fostering a love for math in a lively atmosphere. We encourage families to participate together, as it’s guaranteed to be a blast for everyone! Please remember that an adult must accompany students and cannot be dropped off unattended at this event.

 

Please note a change to our upcoming events:

📅 Wednesday, March 12th – Now “O Canada” Day 🇨🇦 (instead of Career Day dress-up)
Students are encouraged to wear red, white, or Canadian-themed clothing!

Today, your child brought home a set of self-made flash cards to help them prepare for their upcoming science quiz on electrical circuits! These flash cards include key terms and concepts we’ve been learning in class, such as conductors and insulators, open and closed circuits, and the flow of electricity.

We encourage you to take a few minutes to review the flash cards with your child. A great way to study is to quiz them on the definitions, have them explain concepts in their own words, or even let them teach you what they’ve learned!

Important update: The science quiz has been postponed to Thursday, giving students a little extra time to review and feel confident.

Thank you for your support in helping your child succeed in science!
