PICTURE ORDERS
School photo orders are due Nov. 6. More background options/packages available online. Check it out!
If a retake is required, your order form needs to be returned to the school office with your request. It
would also be appreciated to get feed back from parents regarding their experience with the new photo
company. Delay in receiving the proofs is being blamed on the courier company who was having trouble
finding the school building. Hopefully next time we will receive the proofs in a more timely fashion.
REMEMBRANCE ASSEMBLY
Please join us for a Remembrance Day Assembly, Monday, Nov. 10th at 2:30 pm in the school gym. The
grade 4/5 students will present the assembly. Join us as we pay tribute to men and women who have
fallen wars for freedom in our country.
