What a Month!

With September coming to a close next week I wanted to touch base with everyone.  We have had a very busy month and next week may be the craziest of them yet!  I would like to invite families to attend both of our upcoming assemblies next week.

Orange Shirt Day Assembly - Monday, September 24th at 1:00 pm.
This assembly is designed to educate our school and community aroudn what Orange Shirt Day is an why it is important to recognize it.  We will have members of our SLC lead the assembly and teach us about the history or Residential Schools, a video on the importance of Orange Shirt Day, a guest speaker, and a video of a children's story read by our SLC, along with performances by our choir and Umoja. 

Jack MacKenzie Celebration Assembly - Friday, September 28th at 9:30 am.
This assembly is to recognize all the amazing things that have taken place over the month of September.  We will also be recognizing one student from every class that has stood out in terms of honouring Mr. MacKenzie's motto by exemplifying "Where Effort and Kindness Count"

Not to forget we also have our school Track and Field Meet at the Canada Games Complex at Douglas Park on Wednesday.  We are still in need of parent helpers to ensure this runs smoothly.  If you are available please send me a message at kyle.dumont@rbe.sk.ca

I hope everyone was able to make it to the SCC Back to School BBQ tonight, but if not you can find the Sr. Pod Meet the Teacher Package HERE

Also I am still missing a number of student information from the Google Form.  Please click on the link and tell me a little about your child.  This will help me plan and organize my lessons to best support your child's learning throughout the year, especially at the start.
