Welcome to 2015!

Hi everyone,

Welcome back to the rest of the 2014-2015 school year!  We hope that everyone had a great and relaxing break, and is ready to take on the new year!

Before the holidays, we had a lot of fun.  We were busy creating Elf letters, putting together a Holiday Variety Show, and writing short stories.  I will be posting a new page soon with some of the videos and pictures of our December adventures!

Today was a bus cancelation day, and we wanted to thank all families who remembered to call into Safe Arrival (905-778-2011) if their child was staying home.  It makes the jobs of our office staff much easier, and it is very much appreciated!

As of yesterday, students were told they would be having a Math test on Circles (radius, diameter, circumference, area) this coming Friday.  The test will be postponed until Wednesday, January 14.  Immunizations for HPV (girls only) were scheduled for today and have now been rescheduled until February 12.  Also scheduled for today was Mr. Shank's pre-course selection visit. Mr. Shanks is our student transition liaison and guidance counsellor from Bradford High.  He comes over to Fieldcrest periodically to speak to our students about their upcoming transition to high school.  Today's visit has been rescheduled for Friday, January 9, at which time Mr. Shank will be giving students information about their course selection for Grade 9, as well as inviting them to the BDHS grade 8 parents' night on January 15.  Please watch for this information to come home.

Have a great day!

Spreading Cheer!

Hi everyone!

Hard to believe that it's December already... our students are hard at work creating some holiday magic for some children in Cookstown!

We are the lucky recipients of letters from grade 2 students... who have written to Santa's elves!  We get to respond to these letters as Santa's elves, and today, some of our grade 8 students were able to start brainstorming their responses.  We even have Elf names!  What's yours?

taken from a really cute Facebook post!

Here are some of our students' names... with even more than what's above!  More to come on Thursday, when Miss Skelton's crew gets their letters!

Here are some ideas that we brainstormed for our letters...

The magic that these letters will create for these little Grade 2 minds will be a memory we hope they hold on to for life.  And your Grade 8 student gets to be a part of creating that!  We are so excited to be able to participate in this wonderful exchange - please talk to your child about their letter and help them come up with other, creative ideas that will take little imaginations even further into the wonder of the season!

Have a great evening,
Miss Skelton :)
