Family Literacy Day is a national
awareness initiative created by ABC Life Literacy Canada in 1999 and held
annually on January 27 to raise awareness of the importance of reading and
engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family. More than 1.5
million Canadians have already participated in the initiative since its
debut. Taking time every day to read or do a learning activity with
children is crucial to a child’s development. Even just 15 minutes a day
can improve a child’s literacy skills dramatically, and can help a
parent improve their skills as well.

Our School
Improvement Plan this year is focused on engaging students through
technology to improve their ability to fluently communicate their
thinking. Check out the video our students made about our plan for this
year:
Stay
Home When Ill
Students,
staff and volunteers who become ill should be encouraged to stay
home until they no longer have a fever and are well. Parents are
encouraged to develop contingency plans for child care should
their child become ill with influenza-like symptoms.

Books
for our school library - if you have any French or English books
that are no longer being used by your children, we would appreciate
their donation to our school library
Caring
Cupboard: Non-perishable or freezable lunch items for those students
who forget their lunch.
Mittens:
Extra pairs of mittens for students who have lost mitts or whose
mitts are soaked are kept in the office. Students may borrow them and
bring them back if they need them to be dressed appropriately for the
winter weather.
Thank
you for your ongoing generosity. We are so blessed with your generous
spirit.
