Thank you for attending our Open House last night. It is always a special event, as it provides important information about your children's learning opportunities during the school year. It is also an opportunity to catch up with friends and neighbors, while meeting and making new acquaintances. The staff and I appreciate your continued and ongoing interest and support in your children's education.

 

Speaking of education, next week, our kindergarten and grade one students will learn about fire prevention from our local firefighters. They will be here on Wednesday, October 7th, to demonstrate important safety practices. Of course, I expect the highlight will be seeing the fire engine that will be here as well. In a conversation I had with the Fire Marshal last year, I explained to him that many students were not aware of "Stop, drop and roll" based on a very informal survey I took of our students.  For many years, that practice was drilled into students so I am glad the Fire Marshal decided it was time to resurrect educating students on that, as well as other safety practices.  

               

Keeping in the safety mode, a pamphlet is going home today on "Bus Safety." Please take the time to read it with your children and discuss the important points with them. Whether they take a bus to and from school or go on a school field trip, bus safety is important for all students to be made aware of and reinforced, both at home and school.  

Have a dry and safe week-end!
