TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK…
- Tuesday our gr. 8 class hosted a Halloween Cookie Sale. All proceeds are going towards their Gr. 8 Farewell in June. The sale raised $330.00! Thank you to everyone for making this such a successful sale. They couldn’t have done it without you.
- Black & Orange Day was also held on Tuesday. The students had a fun day with Halloween activities and the energy in the building was exciting!
- On Wednesday, we had some former SCCS students helping in the classrooms.
- Wednesday was also All Saints Day, and our students were learning about different saints this week.
- All Souls Day was on Thursday.
- Thursday was also early dismissal. Teachers had a Blue Cross presentation followed by our monthly Staff Meeting.
- Today was our annual St. Charles Day! The grs. 5 & 6 teachers hosted our annual assembly, and our students learned about our patron saint. Thank you to the students who read at our assembly this morning. You did a really good job! The day ended with our annual tradition…ice cream from Sargent Sundae! 😊
- We had some more former students back at SCCS today. SPHS students were here to give back to our community.
LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT WEEK….
- On Monday, our grs. 7 & 8 students will have a presentation called “Bisons Against Bullying.” One of our former students, now at the U of M, (fun fact: I taught him in gr. 1 😊), is coming back to speak to our middle years’ students along with one of his teammates. It should be an excellent presentation.
- Advisory groups are on Tuesday morning for our grs. 7 & 8 students.
