They plan to put this money towards a lighted information sign in the front yard visible from the road. This will keep parents and the community updated on current happenings at the school. Council has also purchased two sound field systems to be installed in kindergarten and Grade 1/2 classes. One of the fundraising goals is to purchase a few of these systems every year until all the classrooms are equipped with them. They make the teachers' voices much more audible for students and are especially effective for primary aged learners. Report cards will be sent home on Monday, Dec. 4. Parent/teacher interviews can be scheduled for after school on Dec. 7 and on the PD day Dec. 8. A representative from school council will be available during these times to answer any questions you may have for them. Preparations for the children's turkey dinner on Dec. 13 are well on their way. Students don't need to bring a lunch to school that day. Everyone will be served this free hot meal. Abby, along with Brian, Shelley and Tyson travelled to Toronto on Sunday to deliver the items. Surprise!
