All kinds of Rockets, Birthday Parties and Centres

Friday March 8, 2013

Thank you to everyone who came out during the International Week festivities.  It was great to see so many parents come to school and watch our show.  I have added some of the pictures to the blog but if you have any could you please email or give them to me.  As you can see I take a lot of pictures for the blog and the school yearbook. 

Next week is Spirit Week and each day there will be a different theme.  Below is the list for each day, this is a fun week so do not feel pressured to have the perfect outfit for your child.  Do your best and if you need any suggestions please contact me.  Wednesday is class colour day and the Pre-K’s will be dressing in white. Also, Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 there will be some running races on the back track Along with dressing your child in white could you also bring in a small white towel (tea towel, hand drying towel etc.) along with a hat, sunscreen, running shoes, shorts/t-shirts (P.E uniform, weather permitting) and a water bottle.  This is always a very fun week and if you are free come and join in on the fun!
