Jumpstart!

Hey everyone! My 9-1 class is fundraising for Jumpstart (with Canadian Tire). This organization helps kids get involved in sports when they can't afford it. 100% of the funds raised goes directly to the kids who are being helped. The 9-1 class has elected to keep the money in the Comox Valley to help local kids. We are having a bake sale on Dec 4,5,6. Please support my kids.

Thanks and have a super week!

Report cards are coming, report cards are coming!

My eyes are square and blurry as I try to meet the deadline for uploading my report cards on Tuesday morning.  The report cards will be handed out to students on November 18, please watch for them.  Parent-teacher-student conversations are on the 21st.  If you wish to speak to a teacher, call the school and make an appointment.  Of course, you can email me any time to chat about your child.
