We are half way through January and another busy and productive week is in the books. The weather this week finally warmed up and everyone was able to get outdoors for some fresh air and once again enjoy the playground with friends. Here's hoping that the weather holds and that we are not thrown into the deep freeze too many more times before spring arrives.
A huge congratulations goes out to this week's Student of the Week recipients. Continue the great work folks as you are indeed role models for the students around you! With this month's character education assemblies, students are focusing on the topic of honesty and how it shows respect for themselves and others.
In terms of activities throughout the school this has been an exceptionally fun one! This pastWednesday was definitely a radical day for the students and staff as everyone flashed back to the 80s. The students did a fantastic job dressing up, as there was a ton of leg warmers, neon, and spiky hair throughout the school! Our next school theme day is "Rainbow Day", scheduled forFebruary 18th.
This past week the school gym was transformed into a whirling, twirling center of activity as Drumfit classes have been taking place all week. Judging from the thumping drumsticks, boisterous laughter and huge smiles the program has been a huge success with the kids. Our Drumfit classes carry on through Wednesday next week.
As well, this week marked the start of the grade one and two intramural program. With 85 players on six teams the indoor soccer action has been fast and furious. With every team having the opportunity to play two games per period the lunch hour league has been both a fun and active time for the kids. Indoor soccer carries on through next week, with skating sessions take over during the last week, January 26-29.
Finally a quick reminder to everyone that West Edmonton Mall water park tickets are still on sale for $10 each. Please purchase your tickets and help the school raise funds for some much needed technology upgrades.
Thank you and have a fantastic weekend!
Mr. Henderson
