Tuesday, October 15 Reminder

Outdoor Field Trip This Morning Just a reminder that we have an outdoor field trip today from 9-noon. We will be learning outside in the Shaganappi gully. It will be damp and chilly since we'll be in the gully surrounded by trees. Please have your child dress for the weather and outdoor learning conditions. I'd recommend wearing layers because they can be removed as the morning progresses. Warm jackets, hats/toques, gloves and scarves are suggested. Sturdy and warm footwear is recommended.  Thank you for supporting your child in having a successful morning outside, learning in nature.
