Happy Valentines Day from K-2!The Grades K-2 classes have been learning about kindness this February. For the last week we have been learning what a compliment is, how to give one, and how getting a compliment can make us feel. Each student is bringing home a special Valentine's Day Card made by their fellow classmates full of friendly messages! Happy Valentine's Day! Happy Birthday, Mrs. Skög!Mrs. Skög "celebrates" a fairly significant chronological event on Monday. Seeing as it's Louis Riel Day on Monday, it was decided today would be the day to celebrate Mrs. Skög's event at school! We know she'll just LOVE all the attention! We wish her all the best! Let's try this again!!The low temps and windchill factors are only temporary and not enough to curb the enthusiasm of our Senior Years Leadership Group. They've adapted and overcome to ensure our Winter Celebrations can still continue. Please see below for the new dates! Way to go, MAV's! I love to read month is alive & well!Our students have jumped into I Love To Read Month with both feet!! From online guest readers, live guest readers, tally charts, Guess the Reader Contest, or Drop Everything & Read announcements, our students are engaged in the great act of reading! We applaud our teachers & students for their efforts, our parents for encouraging this worthy skill and passtime, and we thank the people who are making this month even more meaningful by offering their time to our school!

Due to the current COVID-19 restrictions we will not be hosting our annual Open House. If and when we are able to increase the number of guests in our school AND/OR the weather is nicer to host something outside, we will do so and keep you in the loop. In the meantime, our Kindergarten team of Mrs. Charron and Mrs. Harrison have created a slideshow that gives you some sense of what Kindergarten will look like for our students. If you click this link (https://rb.gy/mleurl) you will access the slideshow. For all those who register, Mrs. Harrison will contact each family directly to have a conversation as well as answer any questions you may have. She will also be providing each family with Kindergarten Readiness Kits sometime in the spring. We will promote this distribution event when we get closer to the date.
