Good afternoon everyone!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
We had a wonderful weekend, celebrating Carter’s 7th birthday. We
had a joined party with one of our neighbours at Air Riderz. We jumped, ate
pizza and cake, and Carter tackled the slide and climb – he made it to the
second last pillar!
Tomorrow is our golf trip. Please send
students in their gym clothes and have them dress warmly. We will be attending
rain or shine, as the area we hit from is covered.
Tomorrow is a Day 2 (music and
tech). Scientists in the School Matter workshop permission forms and money due
no later than Tuesday, October 9th. Busing to the new Athletic
Centre begin on Wednesday. Please ensure that all students are at school on
time and dressed in their gym clothes ready to load the bus at 9:00 AM. Thank
you again to everyone who brought in donations for Terry Fox. As a school, we
raised over $4600 and as a class, we raised over $300. Congratulations to Ms.
Chiappetta’s Grade 3 class who brought in the most money and won a class ice
cream party! Well done SJA!
Winter uniforms

the pieces and that all pieces are worn on a daily basis (grey skirt/pants,
navy blue socks, black dress shoes, long sleeve button up white dress shirt,

Caribou Math Contest is an online mathematics
contest that is held 6 times per year. Last year we did a trial run with a few
students from Grade 6 and above. This year we are going to offer it to students
in Grades 3 and up. This is something that will be done on a student’s own
time. This will not be a focus of our math program. That being said, Dr. Kaur
and Mr. Lee-Guide have offered to run a math club on Wednesday morning
beginning at 8:00 AM for those who are interested – the math club has begun.
There is a $15 annual fee that must be paid online at registration and the test
times begin at 7:15 AM. Committed students will write the tests on:

we did not get to UOI, as our math test took longer than expected.

science fair project and it must relate to matter. An outline with due dates and a rubric will be
sent home sometime over the next few weeks – the Grade 5 team are still
finalizing the details. The due date for this summative will be Thursday,
