Dear Families,
October has been bursting with creativity, celebration, and community spirit. A huge thank you to all the parents, family members, and staff who helped make our Halloween Fest such a memorable event. We also want to recognize and appreciate the parents and room parents who decorated our school, transformed classroom doors, and organized festive parties. Your creativity and enthusiasm made every corner of our school feel fun, welcoming, and full of Halloween magic — the students loved it!
We are so proud of our students for their courage and talent in the Talent Show last Sunday, and for the joyful student-led assembly that closed out this spirited month (thank you for joining us!). Between that, the Grade 1 and 2 music “informances,” and concluding with Learning Conferences, it’s been a month full of learning and connection.
With gratitude,
Dani
