Happy March Break  :o)
There are a variety of exciting events happening throughout Toronto for families who have decided on a "staycation".  Check out the AGO, ROM and local events at the Public Library.

Spring Cleaning:
Families who are considering early spring cleaning, please keep an eye out for classroom/school books (novels & graphic narratives) and supplies that we would greatly appreciate having returned.

Any cleaning out of Lego would be a great asset in our classroom as we build upon our Lego Robotics club supplies.

Any gently used office boxes and cardboard boxes from large appliances would also be appreciated for upcoming student projects.

The energy, focus and drive demonstrated this week was exciting!  Continue to own your learning in-class and at-home both online and paper/pencil.  

Have a wonderful March Break :o)
