The big week has finally arrived! The grade five and six drama performance of Annie will be this Friday evening starting at 7:00 p.m. Tickets can be purchased from the office - $10 per adult, $5 per child. They have worked so hard and it will be great to see all their hard work pay off!

Our French Immersion grade one classes performed a spring poem and song at this afternoon’s month end assembly. We may have set a record for the number of parents and grandparents in the building which was amazing to see!

Another successful egg drop challenge happened this week in Madame Brisbois' class with some very inventive designs! No broken eggs this year! Way to go!

We would like to welcome two new teachers onto our staff this week, Mrs. Gottselig and Mrs Dexter. We were able to hire both ladies thanks to some new provincial funding. They will be working in our early intervention department through the remainder of the year. Mrs. Gottselig has been in the building quite a bit over the last few years as a substitute teacher and Mrs. Dexter used to be one of our grade six teachers back before she had kids. It’s great to have them both on staff!

We hope you can join us this evening beginning at 7:00 p.m. in the library as Chris Sciberras, Christ the Redeemer's Coordinator of Mental Health Services, leads us in a discussion on Building Resilient Learners.

A few of our grade five and six French classes participated in an online tour of Louisbourg today related to their Social Studies curriculum. It was very informative and they even saw some old artifacts. I think a few of our teachers from Nova Scotia may have even felt a little homesick.

Some of our grade one classes re-enacted the last supper as a part of their religion classes this morning. It really helped bring the message of Holy Thursday to life for our students.
