Father Roache performs magic tricks for Mrs. Heather Preze Diaz's Kindergarten French Immersion class.
This has
been a great week of school. Students and staff of Immaculate Heart of Mary
School have been working hard writing exams and learning new things.
We would
like to extend best wishes to Gabrielli Barbosa Da Silva, Matheus De Souza
Simoes Vicente and Luan Marcolio Dias who will be returning to Brazil on
Sunday. They were a wonderful addition to our school and we are very sad to see
them leave.
We would
like to extend a thank you to Mrs.Coleman for arranging Father Roaches visit to
our school. Everyone really enjoyed his magic tricks.
We would
like to welcome Ms. Stacy MacDonald to our I.H.M.S. staff. Ms. MacDonald is
doing a replacement position in our office.
Many of
our teachers are implementing Mathletics in their classes to enrich the
provincial curriculum. Our classes are enjoying immensely this interactive way
of learning Math.
We would
like to congratulate Isaac Buckingham whose team won a gold medal at the Novice
I invitational Hockey Tournament this past weekend. Isaac had two goals and an
assist. He was also the winner of the hockey stick autographed by Daniel
Cleary.
Best of
luck to; Caylie Blake, Anna Brake, and Olivia Park who will participate in the
Divisional Figure Skating Championship this weekend in Gander.
The
Enrichment group had a wonderful time at Marble Mountain on Wednesday
afternoon, skiing and snowboarding. Thank you Mr. Gillard for organizing this
activity.
The
Mid-Term exams concluded today.
There
will be a Grade 6 girls’ basketball practice on Sunday at 5:00p.m. This
practice is open to girls from grade 3 to 6.
Our
Penny Drive has been extended. Please do not forget to keep the pennies
