Our Grade 1 students did a fantastic job hosting both of our Remembrance Day assemblies today! It was a meaningful opportunity for our entire school community to pause, reflect, and honour the men and women who have served Canada in conflicts around the world and in peacekeeping efforts throughout the years. In addition to remembering and recognizing the sacrifices of those who came before us, the focus on peace and hope for the future was an especially important message for our students. We are so proud of our Grade 1 students for helping lead such a thoughtful and meaningful tribute. A big thank you to our Grade 1 team and students for their hard work in bringing these assemblies together! 

A reminder that Fall Break begins tomorrow! There will be no school for students on Wednesday, November 11, Thursday, November 12, and Friday, November 13. We hope everyone enjoys the break, has an opportunity to spend time with family and friends, and gets some time to relax and recharge. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday, November 16. Have a wonderful Fall Break!
