It was great to see so many teachers out front together showing their support for education this morning. I had a few positive comments from parents and I heard some cars giving some supportive beeps! I know this will be a difficult week and we all hope that this gets settled soon.

There is not too much going on this week. We have a dress down day mid-week and some opportunities for students on Thursday and Friday.

Here is that School Council Reimbursement Form again just in case you are looking for it. It is also in Hapara but I thought I would post it again.

• Thursday: Christmas Concert Day - 9 AM Surnames A - M and 12:30 PM Surnames N - Z.

We made it to the last week before the Break! This week is going to be an exciting week for many reasons and I hope you have fun with your students and classes. 

Great job to the Gr. 6 Team and Joanne with your student leadership last week with the White Elephant Sale and the Hour of Code. We were all very impressed with the leadership and collaborative skills that your students shared with us last week. We also cannot forget Tina and her Gr. 5 students that got the CHOOO CHOOO Train up and going. Through your leadership, there will be many thankful people receiving our school communities gifts this Christmas. The train has left the station and it was loaded down!

Movie reminder: If you are going to be showing a movie for your class, please make sure that you are using Lear 360 from the staff portal. Since the school board is being audited this year it may not be a good idea to be showing Netflix in class. You may have a parent in your class who is a copyright lawyer. This has happened. Trust me ...... 

Remember to wear your Advent colours on Monday!

Enjoy the last week everyone.

• Monday:
• Tuesday: Advent Mass at 12:30 PM, WE Day, Staff Meeting 3:10 PM
• Wednesday:
• Thursday: Gr. 4 & 5 Hour Of Code Workshops in the Learning Commons

This week is Coding Week. This is a great opportunity to give coding a shot with your students. Sometimes coding seems a little overwhelming but there are so many entry points that pretty much any student can pick it up very quickly. I know that Joanne's class is going to be coming around working with Primary classes. Thanks, Joanne! If you are looking for another resource that can be used in your classroom, check out the Hour of Code Website. We also have coding workshops for the Gr. 4 and 5 students in the Learning Commons on Thursday.

On Tuesday we have our December Staff Meeting. If you have any items for the agenda, please send them my way as soon as you think of them.

Friday is our White Elephant Sale. If you are looking for something to do this weekend why not take a look around and see if you have any items that can be donated to our sale. I know the Gr. 6 students are looking for more items to add variety to their sale.

Thank you to the social committee for putting together a great Christmas Party! Sandra, thanks for hosting us it was a great venue. Can't believe that the season is here and the holidays will be here in a flash.

We have our fist Advent Liturgy on Monday first thing. Please come on down to the gym right after attendance. Our second liturgy will be the second block on the 16th.

Don't forget to encourage your students to bring in toiletries for our train in the front foyer. Let's hope we can fill those cargo containers right to the brim!
