The first School Community Council Literacy Night was held on the evening of March 31. Stations were set up throughout the school with activities.
There was a bookmark making station, a fairytale crossword , a poetry writing station, Boogle, magazine letter hunt, roll a story, stained glass egg making station, read a story with your family, read around the gym activity and of course, a snack station. Students were given a passport and travelled around to each station. Their passport was stamped after they completed the activity.
The students and parents who attended the evening had a great time.
Congratulations to Seth McIntosh and Rylan Voegeli who won the door prizes.

The Grade 4 and 5 classroom was backwards on the morning of April 1. Some tricksters must have gotten into the classroom. There were several harmless pranks played throughout the morning.
April 2 was World Autism Awareness Day so many of the staff and students wore blue. It was also Rainbow Day at the school, so many people wore bright colours as well.
The SLC organized a plastic Easter egg hunt April 2. They hid eggs around the school and schoolyard. During recess and noon, classes hunted for the eggs and kept them together for a class count.
The Grade 9 and 10 class was awarded first prize, the Grade 4 and 5 class was second and the Grade 6 and 7 class was third. Each of the winning classes received an Easter basket full of treats.
April 16, there will be an Easter Bunny Challenge at school. Two "bunnies" will be hopping around the school at recess and lunch. If a student catches the bunnies, they will receive a small prize.
