      Principal’s Message
Well we’ve almost made it ½ way through the school year! Semester 2 will officially begin on
Tuesday, February 1st. It’s been another interesting January with blizzards, freezing rain, crazy
winds, sunshine, and a bizarre range of high and low temperatures. & then of course, there’s
Covid. As the Covid numbers began to wane this winter, we were all hoping we were moving out
of the pandemic period. However, the omicron variant arrived as a most unwelcome guest,
spiking Covid numbers, leaving us with more Covid realities to deal with. Continuing on, we do
our very best in the school to focus on learning and safety. We have much to be proud of –
there are great things going on in classrooms, our SLC continues to lead fun Covid- friendly ac-
tivities, and our ping pong table has been a great source of motivation and energy – just to
name a few highlights.

As this last (we hope!) “round” of the pandemic is upon us, I want to once again thank you for
your ongoing commitment to, and support of, the school – it’s always greatly appreciated but
especially during the complexities of the past 22 months. This has been a long road with no
clear ending yet. However, we will continue to forge ahead together. Watch for those report
cards electronically, and in paper form, next week. Contact your child(ren)’s teachers if you
have questions or comments regarding their instruction or well-being. & please ensure your
child(ren) is/are always dressed appropriately for the temperatures.

We have one staff member who is leaving us at the end of January and one who will be joining
us. Karen Wudrich-Mattock has finished her part-time with us assisting with Educational Sup-
port duties. Ms. Shelly Ekren will be joining us as of January 31st. She will be teaching History
20, Visual Arts 10, Arts Education 9, and also working in the 4/5/6 and 1/2/3 classrooms. Wel-
come Ms. Ekren!

As always, if you have any additional questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at the
school.

Respectfully,
Mrs. Corrine Schwehr

           Rapid Test Kits are available at the school. Please call if you would like a kit

Terry Fox School Run Results

for our commitment and dedication. It is wonderful to see that Terry continues to inspire
millions of students across the country. If you have not donated and would still like to

       Gr. 5/6 French Immersion
For our French “recompense”, the students started the day off in celebration. They have been working very hard
at collecting beads to fill a glass jar. Friday, January 14, 2022 they attained their goal.

During French we’ve been focusing on SUMMARY of a story. They made a short story following all the steps
we’ve been discussing during our “Lecture Guidée” sessions. Today, our day started out by taking a funny pic-
ture and writing beginnings of funny stories to match their funny faces.
