The QSP Magazine subscription program has a wide range of magazines for the whole family. You can sign up for a new subscription or renew an existing one, in either case, the school benefits! Our Principal, Mr. Pilibbossian, has even recommended some tried and true magazines to assist in Literacy.

One of our students came up with the idea of a Lego Club and the school was able to make it happen.
Every Thursday, students in the Lego Club spend a recess period letting their imagination run wild with creativity. While the club has some Lego to get them started, they could always use more. If anyone has any unused Lego they would like to donate, please drop them off at the school office. All types of Lego are welcome.
Our School's Administration has set up monthly "Parent Chats" to allow parents to come in and discuss various topics in a casual environment. The chats will cover a variety of topics of interest to parents within our school community. Examples of possible topics include: internet safety, handling transitions to new grades, French resource sharing, building body image and self-esteem.
Administration is also interested in hearing parent input on topics of interest. If you have a suggestion, please email Mrs. Reesor at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
The topic of this month’s chat is: Getting to Know your Child: Discovering their Assets. Cynthia Lindsay, our partner Halton Public Health Nurse will be facilitating this session.
Watch for more information on this event and RSVP details.

Mark your calendars ... Wednesday, December 7th our gym will be magically transformed into a Winter Wonderland Holiday Minishop where our students will have an opportunity to do some of their holiday shopping.
Students will be able to purchase gifts for two significant adults in their life such as mother, father, grandparent, caregiver, etc. Gifts range in price from $1 to $4 each, with a maximum of two gifts purchased per student.
We are pleased to be able to offer this giving experience to our students. Many volunteers will be needed for this event – a favourite for everyone involved. Nothing beats the look of joy and pride on the children’s faces that day!
Watch for further details via backpack mail in November.
