Hi Everyone, I hope you had a good weekend and were able to stay warm! What a lot of snow! We are still having cold windchills, so make sure you bundle up and are dressed for the weather.     Happy Flag Day Our Canadian flag turned 50 on Sunday February 15th. The Canadian flag is an important part of who we are and is recognized around the world. It is very unique because it is the only flag in the world that has a maple leaf on it. We have been learning all about our flag and how it was chosen. We all agree that it was a great choice! We couldn't imagine having any other flag. It makes us feel safe and proud! On Monday February 16th it will be Red and White Day at our school in honour of our flag.   Phys. Ed Our Phys. Ed days are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.      Library Our library day is on Wednesday. Don't forget your book!   Spell-A-Thon Our Spell-A-Thon fundraiser is underway.
