PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Happy New Year! I trust you all had a wonderful holiday and were looking
forward to school starting up again. I know the children seemed to be excited
when they returned and have settled in nicely for the winter term. On behalf
of all the staff "Welcome Back"!!!
We are looking forward to working with you to ensure a successful school
year.
SCHOOL COUNCIL MEETING
There will be a School Council Meeting on Wednesday, January 19th
at 7:00 p.m. The meeting will examine and develop a Protocal Agreement
with Avalon West Board as well as share information from two recent restructuring
meetings held in Bay-de-Verde.
All parents are welcome to attend.
MARS FUNDRAISER
We raised $1900.80 in this years fundraiser. This money has been earmarked
to improve the computer lab and purchase much needed literacy resources.
Thank you for your continued support.
SUF DONATION
A "BIG" thank you from all the students and staff goes out to the SUF
for their donation of a coloured printer for our computer lab. We certainly
appreciate all the support this organization has given us.
HEALTH CHECK COMMITTEE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
We are in the process of setting up our Health Check Committee and need
2 more volunteers to help out. If you are able to provide assistance, please
call the school or Debbie Crocker our Public Health Nurse at 588-2565.
EXCLUSION FROM SCHOOL FOR CHICKEN POX
We have received a Memo from Health and Community Services stating that
children with chicken pox need no longer be absent from school. Current
evidence and the recommendations of the Canadian Pediatric Society clearly
indicate that the majority of transmission occurs in the stage before the
rash appears. A child may attend normal school as soon as they are well
enough.

Nothing Happened! That's weird

The year 2000 is really fun
I wonder what will happen in 2001???
