Can you believe that it is the last week of September already.  Frost on the ground is indicating that October is just around the corner.  It is a refreshing change from the heat we had all summer. This week is very busy.  Watch your child's HEART book agendas to make sure you remember everything. Monday is Harkins Has Healthy Heart walk at the cove, then on Tuesday, don't forget your library books, because it is your only day for library. On Wednesday the money for the pictures and the money for the Terry Fox meal in the cafeteria (pizza) are both due.  If you are involved in cross country, the meet this week is at St. Andrews.  Please be there at 3:45 to be on time for the walk through so you know the course of the race. Thursday is our 31st Annual Terry Fox Walk.  Harkins has been a huge supporter of this event, and I know the students are looking forward to it!  We will be leaving the school at 10:30am and parents are welcome to join us. Finally, on Friday, it is our Blue Shirt Day to stand up to bullying. That is alot for one week.  I hope we stay organized and get everything done! :)

Welcome back to your first full week of classes, Grade 5!  I am excited to start this week because we will be talking straight french from now on.  Our mornings will be in french, in the hallway will be in french and french during dismissal as well.  Don't worry though, you always have the magic phrase, "Comment dit-on" to fall back on. We have a very busy week as well.  Wednesday is school picture day, and Thursday night is Meet the Teacher.  I look forward to meeting all your parents and letting them know what you are going to accomplish this coming year.  Just a little reminder if you haven't told your parents already...Milk has went up to 50 cents this year. Here's to having a great first week.  The work is starting, so come ready to work!
