Fall Open House All are Welcome! October 16th
On Wednesday October 16th we will be hosting a Fall Open House. From 4:30-5:30, our student leaders have planned outdoor relay games, crafts, school tours offered in Arabic, French and English and live music by some of our intermediate band members. There will also be popcorn and apple cider for sale, with proceeds going toward our gardening initiative. From 5:30-6:30 families and caregivers will be able to meet the educators and visit the classrooms. Come one, come all!
School Update
Many schools within our district have been impacted by a school reorganization. We are happy to report that Terry Fox will not be reorganizing any of their class structures.
Terry Fox Green Initiative: Plant drop off at the Fall Open House
Our garden beds in the front and the back of the school are getting ready to welcome plants. We are now accepting plant, soil, tools and green thumb donations to support our gardening initiatives. Please communicate with Ms Lazslo and Ms Gottfried if you have questions or would like to help!
Lockdown Drill
Today we had our lockdown drill practice today at 10:15am. All students and staff followed all necessary protocols.
