Well we had quite a day today with the snow and the weather and all. So hopefully the weather will be clear and it will be safe enough for everyone to get to school tomorrow.
As tomorrow is our annual Christmas Dinner as well as Red/Green day I'm asking the students to dress nicely as well as add their red green attire.
There are some assignments that need parent signatures in the mailboxes. It's easier for everyone if they get back before the Christmas break.
I postponed the science test so we will do that first thing tomorrow.
After lunch we will be dedicating our prayer centre and then revealing our Secret Santa so its really important to have your gifts under the tree. You wouldn't want to be the person with out a gift.
An important note will go home with students tomorrow regarding a field trip in January.
