Thank you, grade 3 students, for organizing our Remembrance Day assembly this year! A reminder that next week is fall break and there is no school Mon, Nov 10, Tues, Nov 11, and Wed, Nov 12. Classes resume on Thursday, Nov. 14. Staffing Announcement – Ms. Sasha
Yesterday we announced the news that Ms. Sasha has accepted a new Assistant Principal position at William D. Pratt 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. Alex Munro Parent Association Meeting Postponed – New Date Nov 17

Safety Patrols
We are excited to announce that the student patrollers have begun patrolling the crosswalk on 78th Ave. Please use the crosswalk and please ensure to follow their cues and directions when crossing. Next Popcorn Day – Thursday, Nov 13
Due to the fall break we will be rescheduling our next popcorn day to next Thursday instead of our regular Wednesdays. 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. More details on the family skating night will be shared in our next weekly update.
