Go Team Canada! We hope that families have had an opportunity to enjoy watching some of our amazing athletes compete in Italy at the 2026 Winter Olympics over the past week! What an exciting time...and our first gold! 

Speaking of winter, looks like the cold and the snow will return just as we head back to school on Tuesday. Please ensure students are prepared – we have been fortunate these past few weeks! And a reminder that our lost and found is looking a lot more lost and a lot less found! There are many hats, coats, mitts/gloves and snow pants. Encourage your children to take a look! 

Family Day is tomorrow, February 16 so there is no school for students. We hope you have a chance to enjoy some fun with your children.
