January 27
YCS Student Focus Area of the Week: We are back outside on the playground for recesses, and we should be looking for examples of the “Royal Way.” This includes finding our correct exits, working with peers and supervisors for safety & respect, and inviting others while we play fairly. Let’s not forget it is still winter, and we should be dressing accordingly.
Newsletter items are due to Mrs. Gendur by 3:30 p.m. today
Students and Guests will notice that YCS Teachers are dressed down today to raise funds for the World Wildlife Federation. Students may well have dressed in their favourite animal prints today. Classroom teachers that collect donations are asked to forward money to Mrs. Landstad. The class with the highest percentage of participation will win an ice cream cake to share.
Congratulations to Alex Flaman, who was the winner of the Grade Math Bulletin Board Challenge. She received a gift card to spend.
