December is here!

Happy Winter Everyone!

With the first term of the school year over with we look back and reflect on all the awesome things that took place.  We went on a few field trips that included, track and field day, geocaching, DIWC production of "Dear Edwina", then the multiple volleyball games and tournaments, Thriller performances, along with our amazing Remembrance Day memorial service, and the school got to celebrate another birthday for Mr. MacKenzie.  All of this along with the fun school work that everyone has enjoyed soooo much ;).
I also want to bring to your attention that I will be gone the last two days before the break.  I am leaving for a European holiday on the 18th so I will be missing the 18th and 19th of December.  I have done my best to arrange for Mr. Stahman to be my substitute teacher for those two days.

I would like to take a moment and touch base on our VERY busy December calendar.
