On October 11 we began a new year of Reading Club.  Students were so excited over their dedicated books from last year and are keen to dedicate another.  So, be sure to Read, Read, Read each night and check off your form.  The actual 50th Night of Reading is November 29.  However, if you miss a night or two, that’s okay.  The next form won’t be available until December 6.

If you lose your form you can print another – check under the “Reading Club” page.

Happy Reading,
Ms Carson

Hello Reading Club folks,

The last form, for 151-200 nights of reading, is now available for those students who have completed the first three.

Read, Read, Read, as you have until May 31 to complete your 200 Nights of Reading and then dedicate a library book.

Today several divisions participated in a small ceremony for National Flag Day. Colour parties from Divisions 8 & 9 took down the old flag and raised a new one. Then we sang O Canada and Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday Maple Leaf!!

We are looking forward to our Family Literacy Day activities on Thursday January 25.

Please invite your families to join us from 1:30 – 3:00 for our Community Gathering and family reading.

In our final week of library we enjoyed the classic story The Night Before Christmas done up as a spectacular picture book by Robert Sabuda.

Thank you to all the students who returned their books for the holidays.  Be sure to visit the public library over the holiday.

Happy Holidays
Ms Carson
