September Happenings
We
have been focusing on learning about Malaysia this week and the
significance of National Day and Malaysia Day!
The
week of Sept 12th- 14th is Canada Week. On Friday,
September 14th, beginning at 9:00 AM, we will have the Terry Fox
Walk around Emerald Lake. Terry Fox, a Canadian hero who attempted to
walk across Canada while suffering from cancer, is the inspiration for this
event. All classes will have coin jars for the week. Students are
encouraged to bring in loose change for this collection; all monies will be
forwarded to support cancer research in Malaysia.
The
week of Sept 18th – 21st will be Peace Week. On Thursday,
September 20th at 9:30 AM, students will assemble to celebrate peace
and the virtue of empathy through the spoken word, music and visual arts.
All parents are invited!
The
week of Sept 24th – 28th will be Multicultural Week. On the
morning of Friday, September 28th, our school community will put on
display the various cultures we have at our school. Many students and parents
will be involved in helping us understand culture through food, dress, art,
music and many other activities. Again, we hope you can participate and
join us on this day.
· Thanks in advance to our wonderful parent community
and all those contributing to these events!
