Remembrance Day
Last week, we prepared for Remembrance Day by reading and discussing the book, Why Do We Remember?.
We found out that we stop each November 11th to remember all the men and women who have lost their lives over the years fighting to protect Canadians and others around the world. We are very fortunate to live in a country like Canada where we enjoy so many freedoms.
Since November 11th fell on a Sunday this year, our Remembrance Day School Assembly was held on Friday, November 9th. Each class presented their wreaths, and there were a few musical presentations. We were very proud of our class because they remembered to be quiet and respectful throughout the assembly.

Borrow-a-Book Home Reading Programme
A big thank you to everyone for helping us have a great start to our Borrow-a-Book programme! In just our second week, everyone returned their book bags with the correct books! This has never happened before, and you can't imagine how much easier it is for us to run the programme.
Thank you very much! :) :)
