Thank you, grade 3s, for the amazing Remembrance Day assembly/ceremony last Friday. It was a great reminder that we need to reflect and appreciate the sacrifices that many men and woman made for our freedom as well as inspire for a future of ongoing peace. Alex Munro Parent Association Meeting – Mon, Nov 17 @6:15pm
The November School Council and Parent Association meeting is scheduled for Monday, Nov 17 at 6:15pm online. The online meeting link will be sent on Monday prior to the meeting. You Will be Missed Ms. Sasha
This Friday will be Ms. Sasha’s last day as Assistant Principal of Alex Munro School. We wish Ms. Sasha all the best as she continues to inspire and lead at William D. Pratt School. We will miss her and all her contributions to our school while at the same time we are excited for this new opportunity for her. Until the new Assistant Principal has been hired, we are happy to welcome, Ms. Laura Devitt, as our interim Assistant Principal. Ms. Devitt is a retired principal who has leadership experience in various CBE schools. Ms. Devitt is familiar with the Alex Munro School community as she formally worked here as an Assistant Principal from 2013-15. Fun Lunch – Tues, Nov 18 – Little Caesars
The deadline to order Little Caesars for next Tuesday’s fun lunch is tonight at 11:59pm. Please your orders at www.healthyhunger.ca Alien Inline Residency – Nov 13, Nov 19-27
We are excited to be welcoming Alien Inline back for another year. Each class will receive 3 one-hour sessions of learning the techniques and skills of inline skating. Please dress in comfortable clothing and wear socks. Alien Inline has some available helmets; however, all students are strongly encouraged to bring their own certified helmet. Thank you AMPA for funding this residency. Because this activity requires putting on safety gear and tying up skates, we are asking if parents could volunteer to help the younger students put on and take off all their gear. If you can volunteer, please email our AMPA volunteer coordinator, Jennifer Bestward at ampavolunteers@gmail.com This year we will be adding a family skating evening on Nov 27 hosted by Alien Inline from 6-8pm. Space is limited to 75 participants per session. See below for sign up information.
