Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone who came to interviews on Thursday! I look forward to seeing everyone else tomorrow, or on alternate dates as needed. It's a great opportunity for us all to connect on how the year is going so far, and what goals we are setting for the next term. If you didn't have an interview and still want to set one up, please email me: derek.hyland@lpsd.ca. A quick reminder that feedback from the interviews is due on Tuesday October 22nd.
Marks will be available on Tuesday from our first big ELA test of the year. We will be rolling out our new writing project on Tuesday as well, so stay tuned!
In Social Studies, we are concluding our research into mapping for the Humanity Re-Settlement project. We will be working on our presentations this week, and will be in final rehearsals by Friday so that we can start presentations next week!
Library Week is continuing and students are encouraged to bring in gently used books to the library, for which they will receive a ticket to come on Monday to exchange for a different book of their choosing. This will be running on Monday night at interviews as well, so parents are encouraged to participate.
All this week and next week until Halloween, we're running a food bank drive called "WE Scare Hunger". The goal of the drive is to collect as much non-perishable food items as possible. All students are participating in a challenge to see which class can bring in the MOST food items. We hope that the 7-56 team will be in the lead! It is being organized by our WE Team, and is in connection with Free The Children. If students are interested in joining the WE Team for our food drive in the community on the evening of Wednesday October 30th, they should join us at the school from 4:45 pm to 8:00 pm. I've put up a quick info video below:
Thanks!
- Mr. Hyland
