Hallowe’en Safety Tips
- See and be seen. Make sure drivers can see you. Wear reflective clothing or place reflective tape on the front and back of costumes and clothing. Make glow sticks part of your costume and carry a flashlight.
- Are fake swords part of your costume? Make sure they look fake, but remember, some people still may not be able to tell the difference.
- Safety in numbers. Walk in groups and stay together.
- Stay on the outside. Never enter a house and only accept treats at the front door.
- Use crosswalks whenever possible. Visit houses on one side of the street at a time and cross the street only at intersections or at marked crosswalks.
- Save your treats. Wait until you get home before sampling your treats. Though tampering is rare, a responsible adult should check out all treats and throw away any spoiled, unwrapped, or suspicious items.
Happy Mother’s Day
The students in Division 9 have been working on a Mother’s Day gift, and hopefully, they’ll be able to keep it a secret, so they don’t spoil the surprise. They’ll be bringing home their gift this Friday. Have a nice weekend.
Happy Easter
I hope all the families in Division 9 have a happy Easter long weekend. There will be no school on Friday, April 7th ( Good Friday ), and Monday, April 10th ( Easter Monday ). School will resume on Tuesday, April 11th.
The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
It will be a busy week in our learning community. For the Christmas concert, we have the tech and dress rehearsals, followed by the evening and matinee performances. Just a friendly reminder that all students need a Christmas hat. On Friday the students will be having a pancake breakfast in the gym. I hope all of the families in our class have a relaxing, fun, and safe Winter break.

Wear Some Green
Bring out your green! St. Patrick’s Day is on Thursday, March 17th. There are parades, good luck charms, and all things green. The event started as a religious holiday, but over time it’s become a celebration of Irish culture.
Valentine’s Day
In class, we wrote about things we love. We had a class discussion and generated some ideas. For example, ‘I love reading a book with my mom’. The students wrote about four things that they love and their work is now on the bulletin board, in the hallway, right outside of our classroom. You can see your child’s work through the window from the courtyard area. Please take the time to check out their fantastic writing. I hope everyone has a happy Valentine’s day!
Happy Chinese New Year
On February 1, 2022 is the Chinese New Year. The 12 year Chinese zodiac calendar cycle is represented by 12 different animals. 2022 is the year of the tiger. The Chinese New Year has been celebrated in China for thousands of years.
A Letter From The North Pole
The students in Division 10 wrote letters to Santa at the North Pole. We received a special package from Santa at our school. Inside was a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Claus and it shows all the students in Division 10 are on the official ‘Nice List’.
