KG—Gr. 2 Field Trip to High Park 

On Wednesday, November 20th, students went to the High Park Nature Centre where they took part in the Busy Little Squirrels Workshop. Students got to spend time outside exploring Toronto’s changing season through the eyes of a squirrel! Students were busy collecting seeds, hiding from hawks, playing squirrely games, counting squirrel preys and activating their squirrel senses.

By participating in this workshop, students were able to cover the Ontario grade 1 science curriculum expectation of needs and characteristics of living things.

Students had a great time exploring and learning!

Waterloo Math Contest

On Wednesday, November 20th, the following students participated in the University of Waterloo’s Canadian Senior and Intermediate mathematics contests: Felix, David D., David K., Jacob, Alexandra and Nikita from grade 9; Daniel from grade 10; Paul and Patricia from grade
11; and Alexander, Patty, Bob, Lewis, Yvonne, Irene, Mia and Eden from grade 12.

Students have been preparing for the contest by practicing and improving their problem solving skills. The results, along with certificates, will be announced and handed out soon.

Stay Tuned!

Upcoming Reminders

Dear Parents/ Guardians,

Just a reminder that on Friday, November 29th, midterm report cards will be handed out to elementary students. Students must bring the signed response form back to school with the yellow envelope. This day will also be a casual day, so students can forgo their uniforms for casual wear.

Also, our annual Winter Concert will be held on Friday, December 13th. The concert will take place at Northview Heights Secondary School and will start at 6pm. If your child needs transportation to the concert, please let your child’s homeroom teacher know by writing in their agenda.
