February 23rd- 27th

Hello Families,

In this last week before Spring Break there are many students absent with various viruses including a virulent strain of gastroenteritis. Please keep ill children home to prevent the spread of these infections.

This week is full of wonderful activities.

Today students saw the Geordie Production "Game Changers." Geordie is a Montreal-based theatre troupe that offers traveling productions for schools. Ask you child about what they saw and whatthey thought of the play.

Tuesday we have a Basketball Tournament at A.D.S. Elementary. Students need to bring a lunchbox, water bottle, and gym clothes. It is always a really fun day, with the emphasis on participation and teamwork - there is a place for everyone, even those students who don't feel gifted players.

Thursday students will need to be prepared to discuss their Literature Circle book with their team.
We will also have a short math quiz on relating Ratios, Percents, and Fractions.

Friday we are scheduled to have our Plaisirs d'Hiver activities. Due to the Jeux du Quebec taking place this coming weekend, we will no longer be able to ski. Students will need to bring skates and helmet (bicycle helmuts, hockey or ski helmets are all fine) - we will be skating and playing broomball in the morning, and will be playing Katag and other games in the afternoon.

I hope that your family has the opportunity over the March Break to be outdoors and to enjoy time together. I hope to see you all in good health in March!

Best,
Kathy Napier
