Winter Concert
Students and staff spent much of yesterday excitedly preparing for their performances at the Winter Concert. The concert will take place tomorrow evening, Wednesday December 11th at 6:00 pm. It will be for Grades 1-6 only. Due to the popularity of this event and our gym’s capacity, we are anticipating “standing room” only. We are asking families to limit the number of guests attending this event. Students are asked to arrive at their own classrooms at 5:45 pm (15 minutes before the concert begins). Since the book fair is open after school until 5:45 pm, families are welcome to line up inside the building from 5:00 pm. We will be letting people in the gym sometime after 5:45 pm.
We appreciate that it can be a long evening, but encourage parents to stay until the concert’s conclusion, where possible. Most students will be dismissed from their classrooms at the end of the evening except members of the Primary and Junior choirs, who will be dismissed from the Library. We are looking forward to hosting this event for you!
Book Fair
Yesterday, many classrooms had an opportunity to visit the book fair in the library, the Grade 1 classes will be visiting today. Students will be coming home with a "Wish List of Books" that they are interested in. Students do have an additional purchase afternoon if you are comfortable sending money with your child to school on Wednesday or Thursday afternoon.
A reminder for parents that the book fair is open Monday to Thursday from 3:15 to 4 pm, and Wednesday afternoon will have extended hours to 5:45 as part of our winter concert. If the teacher is no longer on duty after 3:30, the main door will be open to accommodate these times. Of course, you are also welcome to purchase directly at Ella Minnow either on their website or in store and if you mention you are from Norway we will still receive credit towards our book fair. The goal of the fair is to purchase new junior novels, graphic novels, Canadian Authors, and Indigenous Voices. Thanks for supporting this initiative.
