Happy New Year and welcome back. We hope everyone enjoyed their Winter Break. The weather provided something for everyone and we are excited to begin school with some more normal temperatures. Important Grade 4 Message – Don’t forget you start 2018 with a Field Trip on January 9th or 10th. On behalf of the school I would like to thank the many families that demonstrated some “Staff Appreciation” with the wide variety of tasty treats during the last week of school. We always feel appreciated at New Brighton School and this was a great way to end 2017. We would like to thank School Council for organizing the treats and We would also like to thank our community for supporting the Book Fair during conferences. We’ll share the final totals with you soon and we know your support led to some great reading over the holidays and will lead to some great new books in the Learning Commons. We even had a special visitor help keep the Book Fair lively and energetic. We would also like to thank everyone for helping us donate close to 300 stuffed socks, gift cards and bus tickets to the Mustard Seed. After a little problem with a tailgate we were able to make sure everything arrived safely and in time to be delivered to clients on December 25th. Ending 2017 with report cards and conferences was also a great way to celebrate our main purpose – student learning. Between the report cards, comments and conferences in December we hope you were able to get a good picture of what your child had learned and what the next best steps are for them in their learning over the coming months.
We are looking forward to a great start to 2018 and look forward to seeing everyone on the first day back for students – Tuesday, January 9th.
