If you have joined the grade 3/4 choir, please remember that tomorrow at lunc is your first choir practice. If you normally go home for lunch and you are in the choir, remember to bring your lunch tomorrow so that you can eat at school.

Our class's assembly is tomorrow at 1:30. Parents and families are encouraged to attend! The kids have been working hard preparing for it :) Field trip forms are due as soon as possible. Our field trip is next Wednesday, October 9. It is very important that we get signed field trip forms. Without signed forms, students will not be able to join us. As well, we ask that each student brings $7.00 to pay for the bus ride. If you have any questions, please contact your child's classroom teacher.

We discovered a printing error on the field trip forms that were sent home on Thursday, so we re-printed and sent new forms home today. Please make sure you are signing the forms that are 5 sides long. Also, please bring $7 for our field trip. Monday is Orange Shirt Day - please wear orange or your favourite shirt. We mark this day each year in order to remember the survivors of residential schools. Our assembly is on Tuesday October 1 at 1:30 pm. Your writing prompt for this weekend is: Why do we have Orange Shirt Day? Do you think it's important? How does it make you feel?
