Last Friday’s Janeway pajamarama was a huge success. Thank you to everyone for their support of this worthwhile fundraiser.
Mrs. George’s grade one class is launched Operation Christmas Child this week! They are collecting items such as tooth brushes, colouring books, pencil sharpeners, pencil leads, and small toys to fill for children in developing countries.
We would like to thank Mrs. George, Mr. George, Mr. McCarthy and our team of fabulous teachers on another successful Scholastic Book Fair. Thank you also to our students and families for purchasing books. All proceeds from the Scholastic Book Fair goes back into our school! Stay tuned to hear the final sales total next week.
As part of our Farm to School Grant, Ms. Janice Galliott, Ms. Ingrid Watkin and Mrs. Cheryl Cull travelled to St. John’s for a workshop and training. We look forward to learning all about it and beginning this program in our school.
Good luck to our runners participating in the SSNL Cross Country Running Island Qualifier. Isaiah Coleman will represent our school on Saturday for the elementary boys.
