Last Friday we saw an array colours and outfits with many countries represented for Heritage Day. Today,  students and teachers alike dressed in their p.j.'s, housecoats, slippers, and whatever else they roam around in when they just want to kick back.  Many stuffed animals joined in the fun too!  Next on the calendar:  February 17th - P.A. Day - no school;  February 24th  - Future Job Day; March 2nd - Carnival Day - 12:30 to 3:15 p.m. (10:30 - 11:30 a.m. JK and SK).  The Grade 8's have planned a great carnival day filled with all kinds of fun!  Cost is as follows: $6.00 for the all-day pass, $1.00 for cotton candy,  and bake sale items for $1.00 or less.  Don't forget the coin drive!

This past Tuesday and Wednesday, the Grade 7 class spent 24 hours at Sainte Marie Among the Hurons stepping back in time to the 17th century.  It was an awesome time away!  The students experienced making candles and arrowheads, quill writing and fire starting.  Dining by candlelight in the cookhouse, the lantern walk, the "snowball fight" and snowshoeing were just some of the highlights.  Many thanks to Mrs. Lin, Mr. Romita,  Mrs. Stefan, Mrs. TanYan and Mrs. Ward for taking time off work to lose a night's sleep to help supervise.
