Parent Week at a Glance March 9-13

Dear families,

It’s time to change your clocks. Daylight Savings began on Sunday.

Our second week of jumping and skipping is well underway as students continue to build their cardiovascular endurance, coordination, and awareness for Jump Rope for Heart. After completing each challenge, students proudly sign their names on our Olympic rings to celebrate their achievements. We are looking forward to our upcoming Skipping Assembly, where we will recognize all participants—and hand out some exciting prizes! So far we have raised $825.00 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada

Last week, our Grade 1 students also had the opportunity to visit Windsor Park Fire Station #11 for a hands‑on educational session about fire prevention. The firefighters were incredibly impressed with our WP learners, who listened attentively, asked thoughtful questions, and demonstrated wonderful curiosity. Students even had the chance to explore the fire equipment up close!

The firefighters shared an important reminder for families: Are your smoke alarms and home safety equipment working?

A heartfelt thank‑you goes out to our amazing parent volunteers—Courtney, Cassia, Shireen, Kirsten, and Angela—for supporting the trip and making this experience possible.
