French Immersion Study
Hannah, the school secretary, sent out a survey this week by email to see how many of our current Kindergarten to Grade 6 French Immersion (FI) students will have a sibling registering for Kindergarten FI for the school year 2019-2020. If your child will continue in FI next year, and you will be registering a sibling for next year, please reply to Hannah’s email and provide your children’s names. (If you didn’t receive the email, you can see Hannah in the office to get yourself registered to receive official school emails.)
Traffic Safety Action
The Traffic Safety committee has started a 3-1-1 campaign to ask the city to make the Cornwall and Maple intersection safer for pedestrians. A Hudson parent was struck by a car there this summer and we are asking for changes to make sure no one in our community is hit again.
Please call 3-1-1 and quote our case number: 12023263. Ask for a curb bump out in the crosswalk and a longer crossing time on the light. Thank you! There is power in numbers!
Spirit and Sports
Spirit wear has arrived and was delivered to classrooms on Monday.
The next Spirit Day is next Friday, November 2. Wear your red!
All cross country runners who are not playing on the school volleyball teams should return their jerseys to the office ASAP.
Activities
The Escape Room – Level 1 program has ended for the term. This program was a very popular activity with students – we hope to welcome back Escape Room – Level 2 next term!
