Friday Newsletter – February 27
Dear Families,
Our school recently came together for a meaningful Pink Shirt Day assembly. Our peer leaders planned the assembly, and through a video and skit, students learned about the importance of standing up against bullying and promoting kindness. Staff and students joined in singing our kindness school song written and performed by Mr. Tony to end the assembly on a positive note. The message of compassion and inclusion resonated with everyone, and students left feeling inspired to make a difference by choosing kindness every day.
NA’TSA’MAHT Community Dinner
In partnership with the NA’TSA’MAHT Indigenous Department, our school is hosting a dinner for our community on March 5th from 5:00pm-7:30pm. All families are welcome to join. This is a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community and at the same time highlight all the wonderful things that we do at John Muir. The T’Souke Nation will be preparing a delicious menu that includes a seafood chowder or vegetarian soup. If you would like to join in on this evening, you must register for this event. Please see attachment for the QR code to register as well as additional information about the evening. We look forward to welcoming you to this event!
Lost and Found
We have several items in our lost and found collection. The lost and found will be placed outside by the main entrance at the end of the day on March 6 and March 13. Any items not collected will be donated.
After School Pick Up
Just a gentle reminder that when you are picking up your child/ren at the end of the day that you ask them to meet you by the Nature Playground as this is where adult supervision is. There is no supervision on the playground at the back of the school. Thank you for your support.
