Dear Parents and Adults at Home,
On Friday, March 14th at 1 pm, the grade six and seven students will present a square dance recital in our gym. Following the performance, the Forsyth Road Champion Basketball Players will play the teachers in a fun and entertaining game. Please join us.
Report cards were sent home today. After having taken a moment to read over your child's report card, I would encourage all parents to book a time to meet with me, either tomorrow, or at your earliest convenience. The phone number at the school is 604-588-8394. Also, a reminder that tomorrow we will dismiss at 1:30 pm.
Writing Circles: The students have completed their final drafts. They have all recorded their stories in podcast format. I will burn a copy of their podcast stories for each student by the end of the week.
Health Unit - Final Week: The students have been selecting articles from the website, kidshealth.org , to summarize and present in a podcast format. We have recorded two scripts on the themes of 'Dealing With Feelings' and 'Staying Healthy.' I will burn a copy of the Healthy Living podcasts for each student by the end of the week.
