Thank you to all of the parents who joined us today for our Orange Shirt Day Assembly. The Grade 3's did a wonderful job and they were so excited to have you see their performance! They have been working hard every day to practice for the event, and we are very proud of the leadership they demonstrated for the school.  Coming Up: Inline Skating in the Gym! We're excited to let you know that  Alien Inline Skating  will be starting a  residency in our gymnasium  for Grades 3, 4 and EES students  starting Wednesday, October 1st.   This is a fantastic opportunity for students to build confidence, coordination, and have a ton of fun while learning to inline skate. A few important notes for skating days: Students are  encouraged to bring a CSA-approved helmet  (bike helmets are best).  I will post the schedule so you know what days to bring in helmets.  Please  do not send  full-face helmets, football helmets, or hockey helmets....
