Sign up to be a guest reader!

Teachers and staff, click here to sign up to be a guest reader in a classroom next week. (This is the same link that was put in the social chat on Wednesday, so no need to do it again.) Guest readers are asked to read a picture book (or a chapter, if desired) of their own choosing or to choose one from the library. You can choose any language you might feel comfortable reading aloud. I will match you up with available classes Friday after school. Kids love having guest readers!

Ramadan

This year Ramadan begins on Friday 28th February. While none of our Primary students are required to fast, some parents have informed us that their children may choose to do so at certain times or on certain days. Children wishing to fast have the option of spending 1st lunch in The Hub or in the cafeteria with friends. Please be mindful of not requiring them to purchase food or eat during this time. Be aware that children who choose to fast may have less energy for PE and other active games.
