Good afternoon everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful day! Please note agendas were left at the school today...please have students bring in devices tomorrow. Tomorrow is a Day 6 and casual day for those who have paid the $20 casual day fee. Tomorrow and Thursday is also our December bake sale. Thursday is our last day of school before we head into Christmas break. It is also our Christmas spirit day – wear all things Christmassy or Christmas colours. We will be having a small class party and watching Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief.

On December 17, 2019, students from Grade 3 to Grade 8 will put on two performances at the St. Jude’s Academy Dome. Our afternoon performance will begin at 1:00 pm, with doors opening at 12:30. Our evening performance will begin at 6:30 pm, with doors opening at 6:00 pm. Seating is on a first come, first serve basis. Please keep in mind that outside food and drinks are not permitted in the Dome.

For our evening performance, all students are to be dropped off in their classrooms to get ready for the show for 5:15. All students will be bussed back from the performance to the school. Students will not be able to leave from the dome. Families are welcome to take our shuttle from St. Jude’s to the Dome and back. Shuttles will begin running from 6:00 pm until 7:00 pm. Please meet in the main office.

We encourage all families to come bundled up to stay warm and cozy for the entire show. The students and teachers have put a tremendous amount of work into their performances and kindly ask that all families stay and enjoy the show until the end.



Our next extra-curricular activity is skiing/snowboarding at Glen Eden Ski Resort. The dates of the trip are January 22, February 19 and March 4. Please do not order lunch for these days; it will not be saved nor will a reimbursement be given. We will be leaving at 7:00 AM and returning by 4:00 PM at the latest. All rentals are included, however students are more than welcome to bring their own. Please do not order hot lunch for these days as we will be eating lunch at the ski hill – students are welcome to bring money to purchase food and drink items. Students must ensure they are dressed in appropriate ski gear; warm socks, long johns with comfy clothes, snow pants, warm mitts, a face protector and a ski jacket. Please note that if students chose skiing, they will ski all three times. If students pick snowboarding, they will snowboard all three times. All students will have to pass each level before they are granted permission to ski on the big hill, no matter what their experience. Permission forms and waivers are due back no later than Thursday, December 12. Please thoroughly complete all forms before returning.
