Highlights

On Wednesday Constable Kovacs came to visit our classroom.  He is a Police Officer with the Calgary Police Service.  He showed us his uniform and some of the tools on his belt.  He talked to us about strategies to help us calm down when we are angry and he read the story Llama Llama Misses Momma.

Don’t forget that tomorrow is green day and crazy hair day!  We are also participating in Jump Rope for Heart.

Please sign up for a time for student led conferences if you have not already done so.
