During December, staff held a school wide hot breakfast. Enjoying breakfast are student Matthew Birmingham and his mother Lori Birmingham
The
students and staff of Immaculate Heart of Mary School would like to welcome
everyone back to school. We would also like to wish everyone a very happy New
Year!
We would
like to extend a warm welcome to our 4 new students: Ava Doman (Junior Kdgt.),
Charlotte Mercier (Kdgt. French Immersion), Isabelle Mercier (Grade 1 French
Immersion), and Emma Doman (Grade 4).
Before
the Christmas holidays, some of our students sponsored a bake sale to raise
money to purchase chickens for Christmas dinner for people in Kenya. They
donated their money to Hailey Kawaja who started the project.
On the
last day of school before holidays, the Student Council hosted a Variety Show
which was a tremendous success. Many thanks to all who participated! The
Student Council made a gift for every teacher and presented it to them during
the Variety Show. The teachers would like to thank the student council for
their beautiful and thoughtful gifts.
Beginning
on Monday, we will be having a penny drive in aid of the Greenhouse Project.
Next
week the Public Health nurse will be doing sessions with the Grade 2, 4, 5 and
6 students.
Friday, January 18th Grade 7- Level 1 students will begin their Mid
Term exams. A schedule and guidelines were sent to our homes the middle of
December.
