We wish to acknowledge and thank our families for their ongoing collaboration, commitment and support in working as partners with the school for the success of all of our students. We wish you all a fantastic summer break and look forward to seeing you in September!! To help ease transitions for students and familiarize them with new a setting and staff, on Thursday, students had a chance to visit their next year classrooms and meet their new teacher and classmates. Many things are taken into consideration when creating new classroom groupings. At all times, decisions are based on students best interests. Some considerations given are, but not limited to, the following: Siblings & family connections (student/student, student/staff), academics needs, social-emotional needs, peer relationships, peer & class dynamics, student maturity, class size, classroom teacher best fit.

Des Fleurs et des Papillons in Mme Christine’s Class This mixed media project combines several different painting and printmaking techniques to create texture and interest; string pull painting, subtractive foam printing, as well as sponge painting. These turned out so beautifully! Eggs in the Nest in Mme Katie and Mme Sydney’s ClassThe Grade 1/2s looked at a variety of nests birds make and how they are made. They were focusing on shapes and texture as they built up their bird nest. The final touch was adding birds eggs and feathers to their collages.

Fouasse and Mme Ally’s ClassThe Grade 7/8s created Derek Gores inspired collages, where they chose an object to highlight with a contrasting background using ripped pieces of magazine.
