Winter temperatures have arrived....

After our extended fall, winter weather has arrived.  Please be advised that on most days, students will be required to go outside during recess times, except on days when the wind chill exceeds  -20 degrees.  Please ensure that your child is dressed appropriately for outside recesses.

In gym today, 2S had a super time playing Dr. Dodgeball against 2MT!

In Science today, we explored turning a liquid into a solid by "freezing" it.  Students enjoyed the tasty Chocolate Ice Cream they made...

Operation Christmas Child

2S students will be participating in the "Operation Christmas Child" project this year. We would like to ask for your help in doing this.  We will be building two boxes; 1 for a 7 year old boy and 1 for a 7 year old girl.  The deadline to have items to the school is Thursday, November 20th as they will be taken to a drop off point that day.  Thank you to those families who have already put together a box!  Please refer to the note that went home or the following linke regarding suggested gifts.
