Week of September 24th

Our thoughts and prayers are with any families affected by the devastating tornadoes that hit Ottawa last Friday.  If you were affected and in need of anything, please send us a note and we will help out in any way we can. We look forward to welcoming back our students on Tuesday morning. 

 Many thanks to the families that were able to join us for our Program Night last week. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet you and go over some of our priorities this year.  For those that couldn't make it, a package of information was sent home with your child on Friday.  Please review it!

This week will be busy with the Terry Fox walk on Wednesday morning and picture day on Friday.  In order to show our support for cancer research, we are requesting that each student make a donation of $1.00 or $2.00 to the Terry Fox Foundation.  You can make a donation in a number of ways:

1)  You can donate through "School Cash Online":  https://ocsb.schoolcashonline.com/
2)  You can have your child give his/her teacher a cash donation.
3)  You can also donate online to our school fundraiser at:

The Kinders will be walking at 9:15 around our schoolyard, so be sure to send them dressed appropriately for the weather.  As they will stay on school premises, we do not need any volunteers for this activity.

On Friday, September 28th, it is picture day and our class will be invited to the gym for a class photo as well as individual photos. You will be able to purchase a package of these photos at a later date. The photographer has asked the children to NOT dress in green.

Just a reminder that the Scholastic Book Orders are due on October 1st.  You can place your order online (under teacher's name: Andrea Rocco) or send in a cheque made out to Scholastic Canada.

Also, we are filling our family tree with photos of our littles with their families.  Please be sure to send in one of your family so we can add it.
