On Friday it was green theme day for St.
Patrick’s Day and the Student Leadership Council gave out the chocolate coins. There were a lot of classes trying to catch
the leprechaun who was playing tricks on everyone.
On Saturday we had our annual St. Patrick’s Day
family social. Thank you to the Brothers Families for organizing this awesome
night. Congratulations to the family who won the “green” dress award. There was also a picture raffle and a prize
for the number of shamrocks in the candy jar. Also the Corner Brook Rotary
Music Festival started on Saturday. The school choirs used our gym this week in
the morning.
On Monday the grade 5 band and the grade 8
& 9 band performed at the Salvation Army Church for the Rotary Music

Williams who received a score of 84. The grade 8 & 9 band, a woodwind trio,
of Patrick Davis, Claire Reynolds and Anri Vermooten received a score of 85.
Thank you to Mrs. McHugh for all her hard work preparing the students. Both bands did a great job!
Tuesday was Apple Day in our school! We had
yummy apple yogurt parfaits, apple muffins and different apple treats at the
breakfast program. Thank you to Mrs. George, Ms. Morrall and Mrs. King for
planning and organizing the event. To celebrate apple day all students placed
