Families poster and story contest. Willow Boland received an honorary mention
in the kindergarten poster contest, Kate Lombard was the provincial winner in

the grades 2-3 story contest. Congratulations to our winners!
Today
for Halloween the Student Leadership Council has organized Halloween stations
for the junior kindergarten to grade 2 students and a haunted house on the
school stage for students in grades 3 to level 1. It’s great to see everyone
dressed up in their Halloween costumes. At lunch today we will have a costume
parade in the gym!
We
would like to thank June Alteen for the many items she donated. We wish her a
happy retirement!
We
are still collecting used and broken cell phones for the MMSB Recycle My Cell
