CHARACTER EDUCATION
Monday, January 29th, was January’s character education assembly. This month focused on wisdom. Many of the students have been wise this month, but some have been noticeably more. The students who received this month’s certificate are:
JK: Zachary
SK: Nolan
Gr. 1: Gabriel
Gr. 2: Allan
Gr. 3: Max R.
Gr. 4: Avelea
Gr. 5: Aya
Gr. 6: Amrit
Gr. 8: Daniel V.
February’s character trait is INTEGRITY, which is having the inner strength to be truthful, trustworthy, honourable, and be consistent in your words and actions. Ms. Catherine and the grade 4s performed a skit to explain integrity. Great work!

VALENTINE’S DAY FUN
On Wednesday, February 14th, Prestige students can wear red, white, and pink to bring Valentine’s Day cheer to the school. If students do not have these colours, then they must be in school uniform.
The high school student council has organized two events for students on Valentine’s Day. Candy grams and a Valentine’s semi-formal dance. Students in KG to grade 12 can send a sweet message along with a delicious treat to their friends: $3 for one candy gram, or $7 for three candy grams. Candy grams are available for sale during recess and lunch. Purchase now and candy grams will be delivered on Valentine’s Day.
Students in grade 6 to 8 are invited to the Valentine’s Day semi-formal dance from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. in the gymnasium. All students in grades 6 to 8 are encouraged to come dressed nicely and be prepared for an enjoyable afternoon. Tickets are available for purchase starting Monday, February 5th, for $5 and includes a bag of chips, a soft drink, and access to all the fun activities. There will also be a variety of other snacks available for purchase during the dance.
Thank you for supporting the student council’s initiatives and spreading love and happiness within our school community.
